Before I made my change, I typed:
$ lynx http://huizen.dds.nl/%7Equintess/pub/tkinspect_itcl.patch.tar.gz

and got back

s D)ownload, or C)ancel

The problem is that in the code where I eventually patched, the
pointer is allocated, but points to a \0 .  Thus, HTSprintf calls the
V*printf function with dst_len == 0.  This causes the % parsing loop never
to be entered, resulting in the %s not getting changed into the appropriate
mime info (or that s appearing in the POSTs, etc.).

I changed the loop so that it runs while the allocated lenght is not 0.
However, this test now thinking about it should never be true, so should
just be deleted from the while loop altogether I believe.
