Not that I'm aware - my first thought was some issue with the network.
But I haven't looked at this area before.  Reading the trace and comparing
with the code, it seems this chunk of trace should correspond in some way
to a trace you can make.  But the closest match I see in lynx's source
suggests that it's using a proxy (which I don't have setup):

no problem (I'm reasonably sure it connected ;-)
