lynx-dev Side effects of deleting a bookmark |

Hello Lyncei,
I have discovered that deleting a bookmark from my
bookmarks.html file with the "r" command can alter
the permissions, UID, or GID of my bookmarks file,
or, in the extreme case, convert a symbolic link to
a regular file.
Is this behavior appropriate?
I noticed this when OS/390 wrote messages to stderr
when the attempt to change the GID failed.
Would it be better if LYBookmarks.c used an explicit
system("cp /tmp/workfile bookmarks && rm /tmp/workfile");
rather than the present
system("mv /tmp/workfile bookmarks");
and completely omitted the attempt to rename? I could write
the patch for Unix easily.
