 valgrind might show the problem (but running with valgrind is slow).

 No stack at all?

 lynx normally catches core dumps, but
 lynx does have an option to dump core (settable at runtime).
 gdb might make some use of that.

When it crashes, returns something along those lines. lynx is compiled with -g.

#0  0xb7766424 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#1  0xb75e7b71 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6
#2  0xb75e9533 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6
#3  0xbfaf9d20 in ?? ()
Backtrace stopped: previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)

I noticed it also happens with 'm', renaming a file. But with 'c', I could create various files and nothing happened.

I guess it's likely a lynx issue. I recompiled, with fresh sources, dev.3 to dev.6, and only dev.6 fails.

Anyway, if you're not able to reproduce it, your ssh account from 2006 is here, so the day you have some free time, just log in. I'll send you again the datails.
