btw, is there a known problem with lynx that causes it to die when the url is too long? I don't have an example right now but I've noticed several times, and it appears to be with long urls, that lynx dies for no obvious reason. I use something like lynx -dump -width 1200 url. I don't think this normally violates the command line length constraint which I thought was many k. Is there a server response that can provoke an abnormal termination ( want to say seg fault or access violation but can't remember)?
