  What lynx do you use: for DOS or for Windows?
  If for DOS (unlikely - you wouldn't have this problem then), could you
please try the same with 'less' instead of 'more'? May be it's 'more' that
causes problem?

  If for windows, how do you compile it: via Mingw (I guess you use it), via
Cygwin or via BCC or MSVC? As I remember, I don't have this problem with lynx
compiled with BCC for Windows. 
    I assume you use Mingw, so most probably problem was caused by
the bugs in the 'glue' of Mingw libraries.
