KLinkStatus will start walking a site linked to by the site being checked

[Joshua Kugler]

Binary package hint: kdewebdev-kde4

When checking a site with KLinkStatus, it will walk the site you are checking (e.g. www.example.com) but at some arbitrary point, it will start walking a site to which your site links. For example, today when I was checking

http://www.nicop.org

http://www.nicop.org/institutional.html link to http://nsidc.org/

So, it checked http://nsidc.org/, but then started walking the nsidc.org site (See attached screen shot)

It will do this even if "check external links" is disabled. This bug was in the KDE 3.5.x version by the way.

This is KLinkStatus version 0.6.0 using the latest KDE packages (4.3.1) from the Kubuntu PPA on Jaunty.
