Funny, lynx -book doesn't crash either. Thanks. But lynx
lynx_bookmarks.html is sorter for me, because I use just 
ly<TAB>ly<TAB><ENTER> in bash.. :-)

I'll try to compile it without -O (I tried -O and -O3, both behaves the
same), and let you know what happens. I thought it might be something like
the sig11 error you get when compliling Linux kernel on a PC with bad
SIMMs, but I tried it on two Linux boxes and all the same. 

Fote, I can make you a temporrary account on on of our Linux boxes, if you
want to have a look at it..
