Subject: pavuk tries to download from "file:///<various-paths>"

When there is no existing copy of the downloaded files on my machine,
I note that Pavuk's 3rd (or so) download is an attempt to
download the current-working-directory as a URL from the remote machine.

Once a copy of the remote files exist on my local machine, then Pavuk
tries to download  _._.HTML from the remote site.

In either case, the remote site doesn't have the requested item,
AND it will probably generate messages in the remote-sites's logs,
to their dismay.

Is there a command-line flag to stop this behavior?
Is it a bug?

If anyone has insight into this, I'd appreciate a private e-mail.
Thanks very much!

Please see the small snippets below.

WITH NO LOCAL FILES  (see download item #3, ie:  file:///home/enger ):
[enger@localhost tmp]$ pwd
/tmp
[enger@localhost tmp]$ time pavuk -cdir /tmp/work  -singlepage
-norobots  -nthreads 1   http://www.yahoo.com/
URL[ 1]:     1(0) of     1  http://www.yahoo.com/
