This was a bug introduced in 2.8.1pre.2 and fixed after 2.8.1 release (sorry),
try current development version which looks more succesful for many reasons.

If you have old sources by hand you may fix LYPrint.c yourself:
in subject_translate8bit()
change
        return(source);
to
        StrAllocCopy(target, source);
        return(target); /* OK */


current version says:
PRIVATE char* subject_translate8bit ARGS1(char *, source)
{
    CONST char *p = source;
    char temp[2];
    char *target = NULL;

    int charset_in, charset_out;
    char replace_buf [10];

    int i = outgoing_mail_charset;  /* from lynx.cfg, -1 by default */

    if (i < 0
     || LYHaveCJKCharacterSet
     || LYCharSet_UC[i].enc == UCT_ENC_CJK) {
        StrAllocCopy(target, source);
        return(target); /* OK */
    } else {
