Oops, I failed to read the other messages 
carefully and see that everyone else in
the world had already determined that
this is a color-style / ncurses bug :-)

I recompiled dev15 with color-style and
ncurses, and Lynx does misbehave significantly
given the pages provided. 

It is not a problem in the network code,
since Lynx wasn't able to deal with
the local copies I made of the HTML files. 

Lynx had problems with both of these addresses:
http://camden-sbc.rutgers.edu/FacultyStaff/Directory/default.htm
   (spontaneous exit)
http://fr.sports.yahoo.com/foot/fran/t/om/
   (freeze up)

Now it's time for my newbie questions: How do 
I find out what signal is being raised by Lynx?
And how do I find out where the signal is raised
in the code?
