to Dave Surtasky:

 Thanks for the report.  Unfortunately the version of Lynx you were using
is an ancient one.  Many improvements are in the current version, which is
Lynx 2.7.  (see <URL:http:/lynx.browser.org/> for more information on the
current version.)  Older lynx versions just cannot deal with many things
found today on the Web.

to all:

The page (see above) which made Lynx 2-4-1 abort shows an interesting
abuse of SELECT "form" "popups", where the "form" isn't used as a form at
all.  People are pretty inventive...
