        I used to have a guest account on Bruce Tanner's OSF box for checking
out Lynx mods, before he converted it to an NT box.  That was using a v3.n
OSF and it did have ttytype.  My understanding is that v4.0 has a "termtype"
instead of "ttytype", but don't know if that's a DECism or some new, general
convention.  It's been claimed that if you change that string it'll compile
without -DNO_TTYTYPE, but doubt it matters either way.  That code has been
there since before I got involved with Lynx, and is probably for ultrix.

        The crash is probably due to the HASH_FUNCTION glitch, for which
a patch was posted earlier today.  I've included that patch in today's
fotemods update.
