What was this patch intended for?
you want to know the dir where lynx saves downloads?
it is in lynx_save_space variable (configurable from lynx.cfg),
defaulted to current dir. And this info should be hidden from anonymous users.
It may be useful to build a log file for all files downloaded by lynx instead.
