lynx-dev 123+p bug

[Philip Webb]

i've compiled 2-8-2dev.17 + the  3  patches by LE & found a strange bug:
 n+g  n-g  work generally, incl pop-ups & TEXTAREAS;
 n+p  n-p  work on  2  sample documents (below);
 n+p  n-p  don't work on  1  sample document (below).

the problem arises at Washington Post, eg (worth reading anyway):
 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPcap/1999-02/28/031r-022899-idx.html
where eg on page 3 entering  5+p  calls up page 6
&  2+p  gets "already on page 3", ie  n+p  =  n+1 ; ditto  n-p .
there's a slightly different error if you try it on page 14 (eg),
where all  n+p  seem to take you to page 16.
WP stories are good for testing, as they have links at beginning/end,
but none for many pages in between (lots of good stories too).

in contrast, everything seems ok at Toronto Star (try stories):
 http://www.thestar.com/thestar/editorial/updates/news/index.html
or Environment Canada's current on-line survey, with forms'n'stuff:
 http://www.ec.gc.ca/survey.html .

finally, having tried it out, i'ld find it easier on intuition & fingers
with syntax  5g+  &  5g- , rather than  5+g  &  5-g  (ditto  p )?

i leave investigation & rectification to LE, who's the expert on this code,
& repeat my thanks & congratulations for getting it added.
