I found a security problem in some versions of lynx, includes
2.8.5rel.1 and 2.8.6dev.15.
There may be some risks when executing external programs against
malicious URL by EXTERNAL mechanism on Windows platform.
I wrote a patch for 2.8.6dev.15 and tested on Windows XP.
I did only on Windows XP but the behavior is different on Win95/98 and
WinNT/2000/XP. So I'm happy if someone test on above platforms.
