not entirely ncurses - I ran some more tests and found I'd missed a null
pointer check in the Lynx side (it'll be in dev.23). The Strings array
reference in expand_tiname needs the check.
-- I don't know offhand why it would break now and not before, since before
and after my ncurses changes it would (when the capability is undefined)
be a null pointer. (In fact, it didn't break this morning when I first
ran the test, but did later, using the same ~/lynx-keymaps file, when
I went to use Lynx to check an html file for something I'm installing ;-)
