I can confirm that the problem exists for lynx2.8.6dev.15a with
PDCurses 2.6 in the MingW and DJGPP builds. It is also present with
the current cvs code of PDCurses for DJGPP. 

I can't get the MingW PDCurses cvs library to build with lynx yet.
Lynx gets an 0xffffffff just after initializing and stops curses. I'll
try to investigate that when I get a chance.
