the similar problem was reported for lynx 2.8:
1998-03-25 (2.8.1dev.4)
* restore original string in LYUtils.c when user enters a badly formed or
nonexistent URL when prompted for Goto/history list (patch by Randall
<address@hidden>). Otherwise Lynx would always attempt to load a
local file if the original string omits scheme:// prefix but guessing fails.
