While Philip's answer is valid (lynx has changed a lot, you want a new
one) it doesn't answer what happened to your previously working copy.

Check your own login for environment variables that affect lynx, and
your dotfiles or dot directories for lynx control files.  Some control
data that's kept in your home now either contains wrong information or
has bad permissions.

"Sig 11" is rather like an MSwin GPF, it isn't really helpful, except
to advise that the program crashed, and may have mangled files it had open.  
There's a HOWTO in the LDP about it that might shed some light for you.
