The problem is a known one and is noted in file TCP.H in Lynx subdirectory
[.WWW.LIBRARY.IMPLEMENTATION]. Look for a reference to 'multinet_foo' in that
file. The problem arises because earlier versions of MultiNet didn't include
the definitions of htons, etc. so Lynx included them in its TCP.H header file.
MultiNet now includes these definitions so they need to be removed/commented
out of TCP.H.
