That was around the point where I started making changes to do "real" 
UTF-8, and there were lots of changes to make the ncursesw code do 
something similar to the fake UTF-8 code.  There were at least a few 
off-by-ones introduced.  Before 2.8.6dev.6, the ncurses/ncursesw code in 
lynx is identical.

However, there were also some ncurses fixes since 5.4 that affected lynx. 
For instance, I've had a couple of people report that one of the problems 
that made links off by one column was fixed by upgrading to some more 
current ncurses (though I didn't analyze it to see what the exact problem 
was).

My understanding is that you're using ncurses 5.4 since that's what is on 
Slackware.  So there'll be some problems.
