 Sorry for confusion -you don't use justification-enabled lynx, so part of my
previous message are useless for your case.
 Now IMO it's due to the use of new gcc. Did you override CFLAGS when
compiling lynx?
 Can you compile lynx without optimizations and with debugging info:
CFLAGS=-g3 -O0 ./configure --your-favourite-switches
 and try that lynx again on this site?
 If it still hangs, can you attach to the lynx with gdb and make 'bt' (to see
in which function lynx is spending all time)?
