Hello, Lyncei,

A few weeks ago, I carelessly defined a null macro in
config.hin.  This percolated into lynx_cfg.h, thence into
cfg_defs.h, where it had been transformed into a VOID member
in a struct initializer.  It took me several hours to track
down the SIGSEGV every time I pressed "=".  Today, I did it
again, but it took me less than an hour to recall what had
happened the last time.

Lest I forget again:
