This is a problem the unpatched SunOS has with resolving addresses that
contain multiple A records.  Some famous examples include
www.microsoft.com, www.crl.com, www.lycos.com.  Lynx running on SunOS
without the patch supplied by Sun will crash on any such site.  A
workaround is to use the IP number itself, but that's obviously less than
optimal.  Solaris does not have the problem. 

address@hidden  +  Lynx 2.6  +  PGP  +  http://www.crl.com/~subir/
Faith, n:
        That quality which enables us to believe what we know to be
untrue.
