        Perhaps you should post a starting URL and an explicit sequence
of choices, so that others might attempt to reproduce the problem.  If
you do, and it can't be reproduced, perhaps it is another sign of less
optimum definitions and switches for the snake targets, or you need
to get the HP patches described in the PROBLEMS files by some means
other than with Lynx, apply them to your system, and rebuild Lynx,
before using Lynx to access HP's patch archive.
