Hi

I have just compiled Version 2.8rel.2 (1998) and still have the same
problem - certain web sites seem to crash lynx.

Anytime I try to get through to http://www.crl.com/ it crashes as
above, but http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/faq.html for example, works fine.

Wierd stuff, huh ?

Anything I can do do help diagnose this ?
