      you have upgraded to the bind-8.1 or later library, you should try
      changing -lresolv to -lbind.
  
+     On Sun systems when accessing sites that use multiple IPs for one URL,
+     you may experience a core dump.  It's a bug in the resolver library,
+     which can be fixed by downloading & installing Sun's jumbo patch:
+     search Sun support information, eg Solaris newsgroups,
+     or see the following Lynx Archive items:

      The Sun `shelltool' and `cmdtool' terminals are stupid by default.  
      In order to get bold text to appear differently than inverse video, 
      the user should put this line in ~/.Xdefaults:
