I see that it's not working; in a quick check I can see that the page
gets downloaded, and that Lynx is waiting for something.  Checking
a little further, it turns out that the downloaded data is incomplete:

> gzip -d L51870-2934TMP.html.gz

gzip: L51870-2934TMP.html.gz: unexpected end of file

so Lynx does nothing with it.  But that's after a good-sized chunk of
displayable text.  (I can probably pinpoint the problem...)
