Update: I am writing this from the latest lynx development release compiled
under cygwin b19.  Only problem is that I had to define that Win32 sockets
thing in the Makefiles and add -lwsock32 here and there and add the WSA
startup code.  That lynx works when compiled this way lends credence to
the possibility of a winsocket bug in the cygwin32 code.
