then I'm still puzzled.  I ran your config.status/config.cache against
2.8.8dev.9 and 2.8.8dev.10 trees on my Ubuntu 14.04 machine, eliminated
environment variables (LYNX_CFG, TERMINFO, TERMINFO_DIRS) which might
affect the behavior, and still do not see lynx failing to wrap the lines.

kterm (like xterm) has an option to suppress the terminfo's autowrap,
but lynx (both slang and ncurses) is not relying upon that.  I captured
the output using "script", and can see that it is doing cursor-addressing
to go to the next line.

Thinking about it a little more, I tried fooling it using the $COLUMNS
environment variable (no), "stty columns" (no) and lynx's "-width" option
(still no).

See attached screenshots :-(
