problem with fnord-1.9 and wget

Hi,

running wget against fnord-1.9 yields the following ngrep output

T 213.133.101.110:2143 -> 217.115.136.170:80 [AP]

bangert@nibbler ~ $ telnet static.fizzelpark.com 80

the whole thing runs fine in fnord-1.8
(fnord was not compiled against dietlibc BTW)

any pointers?
thanks
