I too have had this problem. And it also happens with some of the other
(perl based) link checkers. In fact, the only link checker I've found so
far that doesn't have this problem is the 'webchecker' sample program that
comes with Python.

I'm currently digging through all the link checkers on Freshmeat to see if
I can find a more full featured one that will work. I'll let you know if I
find anything.
