Haven't heard of it.

If tracing is on, does it generate any trace output in that state?

in _this case_, you may want to leave trace output directed to the screen,
see -tlog, since you're eventually gonna kill lynx with ^\ and can't be
sure a trace file will have everything flushed.

Is that initial 'z' interrupting the name server lookup, the connect,
or the actual retrieval?

Does the 'Q' have to be a capital 'Q' or does it also hang with 'q'?

Try compiling without --enable-nsl-fork, see whether that's the problem.
