It's possible (haven't seen any recent examples) that the trace code is
initializing things as a side-effect. More common is for the tracing to
slow things down so timing problems are not as apparent. (Mozilla is
certainly slow, so that's consistent behavior).

That's normal. Lynx doesn't open the trace file right away, so some useful
information gets written to stderr, which is the default stream for this.
