In case anybody's interested who can't get it on their own, here's the
source for the page in question, accessed with Netscape (I did a little
re-formatting). Lynx gets hung up after the first <br> tag. The HTML
doesn't look all that bad (interleaved FONT and CENTER, unclosed <b>),
to my unpracticed eye, so my guess is that whatever's generating the
"You are running..." message is having a problem dealing with lynx.
