^^^^^^^^^
The last groups from the server's newsgroups listing read and handled by
lynx, as shown by your excerpt, are
ausgovdirthe
dk.erhverv
alt.aa.aaa.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.[...and_a_lot_more...]
But the trace log isn't complete, it looks like it is cut off at the end.
Probably the trace log file doesn't get flushed and closed properly before
the program exits.
If you don't direct the trace output (stderr) to the trace log file, but
let it go to the screen, you should be able to catch all of it. With the
2.7.1f code, use -tlog in addition to -trace for that. And then wait
patiently while all those lines scroll by.
That last newgroup shown is obviously highly bogus (and the first one
too), you may want to tell your provider that you would appreciate it if
they did a better job of maintaining the "newsgroups" file (or whatever is
the equivalent in their server software). Anyway, it is not clear whether
it is that last name (which exceeds an internal buffer limit in Lynx), or
maybe something else that comes after it and isn't shown in the trace log,
caused the exit.
I also still suggest that you try this with the development code from
<URL: http://sol.slcc.edu/lynx/current/>.
