Yes, that is exactly what I saw, I still see, and what I think
I said... Perhaps I should have stressed the strangeness. First lynx
babbles about signal 11 _and_ then it still tries to render something
and _then_ it says 'exiting via interrupt 0'.

Static allocation? #define MAXFOO 256? Oh my goodness, this is 1996,
isn't it? :-)

About when? I do not want yyyy:mm:dd:HH:MM:SS estimate, just a
rough idea, monthwise or so.

Thanks. I'll try if I find time to install a Lynx of my own,
I am not the sysadmin at the site I found this bug.

I rather like my 80x65 vt220 :-), using it from under screen(1)
is neat with a 19.2 line.
