LYNX-DEV lynx.cfg VIEWER entry which crashes lynx

[Nelson Henry Eric]

In my futile attempts to view a compressed text file via most in
lynx, I hit upon a way to crash lynx.  Using lynx2-6 with the
11/24 composite, slang0.99-34,  compiled with gcc-2.7.2 on sunos4.1.3.
Don't know if it's interesting or not.  Particulars below.  __Henry

With the entry in lynx.cfg:

VIEWER:text/x-compressed:/usr/bin/gzip %s > ~/%s | /home/.most/most ~/%s

Hitting return on the link to `file://localhost/home/0tmpat/9602.arc.gz',


Causes:

Fatal error has occurred in Lynx Ver. 2.6
[...]
Lynx now exiting with signal:  11

The trace looks like:
