it smells like a regression in gnulib.  I remember it was detecting
correctly EBADF before without report any error.  Wget already closes
stdout in the "cleanup" function so when gnulib later attempts to do the
same thing.

I am thinking about not using the close_stdout module but registering
"cleanup" at exit, I am going to investigate it.

Thanks to have reported it.

Giuseppe
