It didn't occur to me til today - last night I was just trying to 
pinpoint the error at the end of a long day.

The code in LYLocal.c can execute external commands or internal. 
Removing a file can be done either way. In my lynx.cfg customizations, I'd 
cancelled the pathnames of the external programs for some forgotten 
testing to support the win32 port, e.g., by adding

CHMOD_PATH:
COPY_PATH:
MKDIR_PATH:
MV_PATH:
RMDIR_PATH:
RM_PATH:
TOUCH_PATH:

(and since I'd forgotten about that, I didn't cancel the $LYNX_CFG).

With the external programs cancelled, the program uses an entirely
different path (which I might have noticed if I'd compared Lynx.trace's)
