I have had our systems guys make sure that all of the patches are in place
(including a patch for select which is different in 10.20 than 10.10). It
now makes Ok, but when I go to run it with no parameters I get the
following: 

A Fatal error has occurred in Lynx Ver. 2.7

Please notify your system administrator to confirm a bug, and
if confirmed, to notify the lynx-dev list.  Bug reports should
have concise descriptions of the command and/or URL which causes
the problem, the operating system name with version number, the
TCPIP implementation, and any other relevant information.

Do NOT mail the core file if one was generated.

Lynx now exiting with signal:  10

IOT trap


I've set the default URL to http://www.calpoly.edu/.  The same error
occurs no matter what URL I give it.
