This particular binary was built with gcc using the snake target on HP-UX
9.07 and the standard curses package.  I'm having problems getting the
vanilla code to even compile on 10.20 with gcc (snake3 works).  If I try
^Z when I first start up lynx, it doesn't work.  When I do a ^L, the
cursor is moved to the top left corner of the screen, and nothing is
displayed.  Hitting 'q' followed by a return or 'Q' or any other
recognized way of quitting lynx does what it is supposed to do, so it
would imply a display problem to me...

Is there anything I can do to help track down this problem?
