Ouch..so it does..lesse what a trace provides..
Hmm..interesting, it wasn't Lynx that crashed (AFAICT), but cp.
Lets try again..this time noting the tmp filename..sorry, it is Lynx that
is screwing up, and its not a .gz either..wierd.  
Lynx also left its files in /tmp.  an HTML and the ".gz"..which is
actually text/plain..
If I strace it, Lynx doesn't seg fault though, goes on quite happily..

I think I'll ask ecsnet.com why they have text files as x-gzip though :)
Sorry I can't help, I'll gladly send a strace or whatever..
