Can anybody give > me any idea where to start looking for this problem? I can reproduce it... sort of. I wrote some code involving the scanning the value of keypad_mode from the value string in OptionsSubmit using sscanf. It gets a bus error in number called from sscanf. Oddly, this only happens on Solaris, not Linux... I am assuming something similar is occurring. However, if I use itoa then the problem does not appear. To find where it was dying, I went into CS_ROOT/src/bin/lynx/makefile, and add -g to the line that says CFLAGS= -O2 now CFLAGS = -g ran % make clean all then % gdb ./lynx This will tell you what line it is dying an which can help alot. If you have not found it by next week, then I will have to drag out the 1.0 source and compile it on Solaris, as it does not do this on Linux. Or I suppose I can get you a copy of my current development version of lynx for you to test also.
