probably - but I could not reproduce it.  (I have fixes for 2 unrelated
core dumps in my current patch, and have noticed a problem parsing a site
that I went to recently which I'll try to fix -- www.lynxsys.com download --
though the html works fine locally).  But for core dumps, about all I can
suggest is that when you see one, debug it (I'll take a look at each one
when it's reported, but if it doesn't break for me, there's not much I can
do with it).

I'm about 80% through my current (dev.18) patch, will probably put it on
my ftp area tonight (sol.slcc.edu is still down).  Saw your patch, will
try to integrate that at the same time.
