The largest chunk is in

        WWW/Library/Implementation/HTParse.c

though there'll be scattered fixes - the square brackets for instance 
could collide with the VMS pathname parsing (I'm not sure - just general
advice).  But HTParse.c is the starting point.

I've mostly been working on vile and xterm the past few months, have been
working on lynx's backlog the past week or so...
