This is a known problem, covered in the following link to the lynx-dev
archive:

http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month0299/msg00855.html


I have a patch at:

http://www.psnw.com/~posterkid/code/lynx-dump_output_cookie.patch


Tom, since this is about the 3rd report of this, would it be too
much trouble to release a 2.8.1rel.3 with this fix and any others
that are waiting in the wings, prior to 2.8.2?

Anyone agree/disagree?
