lynx "hangs" - actually starts using >1GB of memory (pointless)

I remember that vieweing it before have different results. So what
could trigger this behavior. This have something to do with tables.

At least I need to know is this lynx problem, gcc bug, ncurses bug or
something else.

I'd assume "lynx".  However, I'm not seeing a problem in a quick check -
lynx rapidly displays the page (using dev.8 which I compiled, or dev.7 from Debian/testing). valgrind indicates that it allocated about 4Mb.

tested with lynx dev7 and dev8 (but I remember that dev7 was OK) And
recent changes have nothing to do with this.

So please test it with your lynx version(s) and if problem arise send
full lynx version, gcc used to build it, ncurses version, libc
implementation ...
