I think more likely it's coming from the lynx binary being mistaken for
a shell script.  Do you get the same (or a similar) message from
running "sh /usr/bin/lynx"?

The real question, of course, is _why_ it would be mistaken for a shell
script, since (at least if file(1) is to be trusted) it is not one.

That I can do no more than take guesses at, but here are two:

- It's lost its execute permission and the shell in use is guessing it
   might be a script when exec() fails, without noticing the lack of an
   execute bit.

- /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 isn't what it's expected to be, so exec
   is failing.  (This could be because it's been damaged or because the
   binary was linked on a different system from the execution system,
   with the dynamic linker "interpreter" at a different path.)
