hmm - I can see that the message is coming from src/LYPrettySrc.c,
which hasn't changed since a year ago.  I would have suspected one 
of last fall's buffer/indexing fixes, but see those are earlier.
This appears to be happening during initialization - you might
get some clue by looking to see what it's processed via

        lynx -verbose -trace

This is parsing data, e.g., the lynx.lss file.  For instance it could
be invoked via ReadCFG.
