lynx-dev strange interaction with gettext/anonymous/gz

[Nelson Henry Eric]

Compiled Lynx 2.8.2dev.2 on SunOS5.6 (Solaris 2.6)/slang1.0.3/gcc2.7.2.3.
Used the GNU libintl.a.

So far Lynx seems to run fine in regular shell accounts with LANG set
at japanese.  However, in a captive account, if I hit return on a gzipped
file (extension .gz) Lynx freezes (=key input is not recognized other
than ^C).  When the anonymous account's LANG is set to english, the
problem does not occur, i.e., as with regular accounts, the file is
uncompressed and then displayed.  I have no way to test this on the
SunOS4.1.3 environment I've been accessing up to now wrt gettext.

Can you take it from there, or do you need more info?
