lynx-dev Problems with -traversal

[Francis Irving]

With -traversal, Lynx keeps traversing the same page over and over again.
I'm using version 2.8.1rel.1, the Win32 port (downloaded today from
http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx/wlynx/lynx_w32.zip).  

Example. with an empty current directory type: 

> lynx -traversal http://www.meta.demon.co.uk

Lynx gets stuck in an infinite loop, and generates two files

[d:\sitetest]type traverse.dat
http://www.meta.demon.co.uk/
http://www.meta.demon.co.uk/i.html
http://www.meta.demon.co.uk/index.html
http://www.meta.demon.co.uk/i.html
http://www.meta.demon.co.uk/index.html
http://www.meta.demon.co.uk/i.html

[d:\sitetest]type traverse2.dat
http://www.meta.demon.co.uk/    Francis's page
http://www.meta.demon.co.uk/i.html      I
http://www.meta.demon.co.uk/index.html  Francis's page

http://www.meta.demon.co.uk/index.html  Francis's page

http://www.meta.demon.co.uk/index.html  Francis's page
http://www.meta.demon.co.uk/i.html      I

which repeat in this way.

I didn't have the same problem with an earlier pre-release of the same
version.

Thanks for your help!  This is a perfect feature for checking web site
links, and it would be great if I could get it to work.

Francis.
