Whenever I hit certain pages, sometimes during the download.

Yup.

> only some page?  Can you give a URL?  

Only on some pages, of which I can't really find any clear pattern,
eg. www.helsinki.fi, www.cs.helsinki.fi, www.netscape.com, uk.imdb.com.

preferred document c(H)arset : NONE
display (C)haracter set      : ISO Latin 1
Raw 8-bit or CJK m(O)de      : ON      show color (&)  : OFF

ASSUME_CHARSET not set in lynx.cfg.

Nope, didn't patch any previous version, just unpacked the tar.gz and
configured (--with-screen=slang --with-zlib) and compiled (using cc and
rather extensive set optimization flags, hopefully that wasn't the 
problem, I think I'll try without any).
