This MIGHT be an infoagents bug. Lynx support for versions before 2.7.1
has been removed over the past two days or so, as part of an infoagents
cleanout ... but I'm not sure how that would affect this, assuming that
'lynx -source' is still a working switch in 2.7.1, and assuming you can
find a valid lynx in your path.
I'll have a look, though ... Occam's Razor says it's me.
