There's a long standing bug where wput crashes because of some sprintf overflow. Ubuntu has a patch for it : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wput/+bug/949689 I'm not sure, but i think upstream hasn't integrated it. As of today the homepage (wput.sourceforge.net) doesn't work. Moreover, gentoo has 0.6.1, while it seems there's a 0.6.2 available. Or maybe it's just ubuntu ?
The crash still happens, the fix is obvious.. please apply this patch
