To reproduce this:
While running lynx, with numbering of links and/or form fields activated:
1) Press the '0' (zero digit key)
2) Lynx then opens up a field at the bottom of the screen to
accept input - a link to either activate (a simple integer),
a link to go to (a simple integer followed by the letter 'g'),
or a page to go to (a simple integer followed by the letter 'p').
3) After typing 4 characters, it simply does not take any more input.
This limits the maximum link that can be activated by typing
in a link number to a maximum of 9999,
and a link number to go to without activating to 999 ('999g')
or a page number to go to 999 ('999p').
I've done some checking on various machines I have accounts on:
1) My desktop / Debian testing
Lynx 2.8.9dev.1 (12 March 2014)
problem found
2) A server I have / Debian stable
Lynx 2.8.8dev.12 (22 February 2012)
problem found
3) Larry Hart's machine / Debian testing
Lynx 2.8.9dev.2 (21 December 2014)
problem found
4) Account on Freeshell.de / Debian GNU/Linux 7
Lynx 2.8.8dev.12 (22 February 2012)
8 character instead of 4 character limit found
(probably unnoticable for practical purposes, but present in a form)
5) Account on sdf.org / NetBSD
Lynx 2.8.7rel.2 (21 June 2010)
no apparent limit on number of characters typed in
6) Account on grex.net / OpenBSD 5.0-stable
Lynx 2.8.7rel.2 (21 June 2010)
no apparent limit on number of characters to typed in
