VFAQ addendum

[Al Gilman]

     There have been a series of reports of abrupt [1]crashes when people
   access Webcrawler, Microsoft, and various other large sites. Paul
   Gilmartin figured out that it's [2]not Lynx. Now Bela Lubkin has a
   [3]probable culprit. 
   
   The real fix to the real problem requires applying a patch to the
   operating system. Until you can get your sysop to apply the
   appropriate patch, a workaround that will work for users is to employ
   IP numbers to specific IP nodes at these sites. This is well explained
   in David Morgan's [4] HTML - Lynx Help tipsheet. In fact, if you
   suffer from this you may need to use [5] this link to get to Dave's
   page.
   
   Henry Nelson points out that if you have the resources for a compile
   and you hold your mouth just right, you can [6] compile the bind
   library yourself and fix the problem.


   Back to [7]Al's picks from the lynx-dev discussion.
