It appears that the infoagents version of Lynx is broken for Solaris
machines running Athena 8.2:

From perusing the 'lynx' script, it appears that "athdir /mit/infoagents
MIT-only" is supposed to output something meaningful, but it's not actually
printing anything at all. I'm not sure whether this means the lynx script is
broken, or whether 'athdir' is broken.
