lynx-dev Bug with "-cfg" flag in lynx 2.8.2 |

I have tested this bug on Solaris 2.5.1 (sparc) as well as on Linux
2.2.10 (intel), running tcsh as well as bash.
To reproduce:
% ls
foo.html
% more foo.html
<html>
<head><title>foo</title></head>
<body>
<table>
<!------ a comment -------->
<td>
Some text
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
% touch lynx.cfg
% ls
foo.html lynx.cfg
%
Now, if you run "lynx foo.html", Lynx will correctly display the
phrase "Some text".
However, if you run "lynx -cfg lynx.cfg foo.html", Lynx will display a
blank screen.
If you remove the comment line from the HTML, both commands will
correctly display "Some text".
I have no familiarity with the Lynx 2.8.2 code, so I can't really
speculate on what might cause this bug, but it obviously has something
to do with comments, and probably something to do with comments inside
tables.
