lynx-dev bug when submitting multiple textareas with same name? |

When I submit a form with multiple textarea elements with same name, lynx
seems to concatenate all the data from the textarea fields and presents a
single field to a CGI program.
I have attached a simple web page form and a Perl CGI program that
demonstrates this. Also attached is copy of the results page I see after
submitting the form.
I think this is a bug because the hidden, select and textfield elements
behave differently than the textarea element.
I have tested this in lynx-2.8.2 and lynx-2.8.3 and get the same results
both times. I am running them on an HP-UX 11.00 system.
Here are the results I get after subitting the form:
Form Echo
hidden field = [first]
hidden field = [second]
textfield = [first]
textfield = [second]
multiple select list field = [two]
multiple select list field = [three]
textarea field = [ first one second one third one ]
Test it = [Submit]
...etc.
I would have expected to get this, though:
Form Echo
...
textarea field = [ first one ]
textarea field = [ second one ]
textarea field = [ third one ]
...
Thanks for any suggestions!
