Since the informations in my first mail were a little bit poor here
a little bit more infos:

lynx 2.8.4dev.17 core dumps if I press "D" on a downladable file
(lynx 2.8.4dev.16 works ok). 

Here my configure options:

  --with-screen=slang --prefix=/usr/local/contrib \
  --enable-persistent-cookies --enable-cgi-links \
  --enable-default-colors --enable-forms-options \
  --with-zlib --enable-prettysrc \
  --with-ssl=/usr/local/www

The output of "nm lynx| grep pnoutrefresh" (T.E. Dickey's suggestion?) is
empty.

Infos from "ddd" debugger respectively "gdb":

(gdb) core-file /usr/local/contrib/src/lynx2.8.4dev.17/core
Core was generated by `lynx'.
Program terminated with signal 6, IOT/Abort trap.
#0  0xd007b418 in raise ()
(gdb) 

Backtrace:

#7 0x1015f39c in HTStreamStack ()
#6 0x1012a598 in HTSaveToFile ()
#5 0x10044c84 in LYOpenTemp ()
#4 0x1003f9f4 in fmt_tempname ()
#3 <signal handler called>
#2 0x10005188 in FataProblem ()
#1 0xd007b418 in raise ()

Sorry, I am not a C or debugging expert.
