All right, it seems that there are consensus regarding this issue. Anyone
here have any idea of an ETA for the fix?
I ask because I have no idea of the work load regarding other issues or how
hard/easy it is to fix, and I would like to know if I can expect it within a
reasonable time and therefore not have to branch my own software to a generic
and an also-lynx-support branch, I hate branching :-)
Thanks a lot,
