I cannot reproduce this now.  On my first attempt, the server seemed
to hang for a long time (so I used 'z'), but not any more.

Use -trace in such cases.  If the server just stops sending packets
during a connection, there isn't anything lynx can do (except timing
out, eventually).

Maybe they enter the client IP address into a database the first time or
something which takes a long time...
