We don't need these little barbs.  Even if you didn't intend it that way.

This is a known problem on Sun systems, has been discussed repeatedly
here.  It's a bug in the resolver library, can be fixed by downloading
and installing the appropriate Sun-provided "jumbo patch".  Actual patch
names can be found by searching various sources of Sun support
information (I would check the FAQ for the Solaris newsgroups).
Actually, see:

This is a FAQ; maybe someone can add it to the various Lynx FAQs?
