Mosaic and Lynx can't read Gopher forms?

If you use either the Lynx or the Mosaic in the sipb
directory to go to this URL:

      gopher://financial.savvy.com/

and then select the item

      IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM PLACING AN ORDER,

you get an error:

      0 Missing input data to ASK form
                error.host      1
      .

The same thing happens if you try to use any of the
other order forms on this Gopher server.

The forms work fine if you use the Gopher program itself;  they fail
only if you use Lynx or Mosaic to reach them.

Is this a bug in Lynx and Mosaic, or is something wrong
with financial.savvy.com's gopher server?
