Normally the response would be "Upgrade to Lynx2.6, it has a lot of
problems fixed."  But this page also crashes 2.6, both without and with
the latest composite patches.  Crash occurs about 22 screenfuls (with
25x80 display) into the document, around this "HTML" fragment:  

 <A NAME="line139">139.</A> <TD ALIGN=RIGHT VALIGN=TOP NOWRAP>
 <A NAME="line140">140.</A>
 <A NAME="line141">141.</A> <SELECT NAME=EMAILTYPE1><OPTION Selected>Work
 <A NAME="line142">142.</A> <OPTION>Home
 <A NAME="line143">143.</A> <OPTION>Both
 <A NAME="line144">144.</A> <OPTION>Other
 <A NAME="line145">145.</A> </SELECT>
 <A NAME="line146">146.</A>
 <A NAME="line147">147.</A> </TD>

Is this really what Webtechs puts out?  Somehow I doubt it...
