Ah, okay. Understandable.

I don't exactly grok, then, why I have never had these problems
with 2.6.6dev.7b in the same configuration?

The only diff which relates to free() is... uh, I don't find
the one I had in mind at the moment.

There are also a bunch of diffs like
@@ -8041,8 +8037,9 @@
        if (!(stream->fp = LYOpenTemp(filename, HTML_SUFFIX, BIN_W))) {
            CTRACE((tfp,
                    "SourceCacheWriter: Cannot open source cache file for URL 
%s\n",
-                   HTAnchor_address((HTAnchor *) anchor)));
+                   cp_freeme = HTAnchor_address((HTAnchor *) anchor)));
            FREE(stream);
+           FREE(cp_freeme);
            return target;
        }
 
but I don't suspect them that much.

AND I still can't be sure it's a memory allocation problem...
that's why I will now simply build lynx without ProPolice
and look if I can debug it better afterwards.
