Thanks for the feedback. The `writelog printf ...` would have been hard to catch in the normal course of things because that function `check_rss_feed_via_wget()` only gets called under specific circumstances where LWP::UserAgent::get fails to download an RSS feed, and that only ever happened with one podast that is no longer around (and if I remember right, ceased to be a problem when I changed the user agent string).
