Package: lynx
Version: 2.8.5-2sarge2

Trying to use -traversal to discover broken links,
lynx gets stuck on an invalid link, returns "Can't
access" and tries again ad infinitum.

I have the following test html installed on a home
page:

<html>
 <head>
  <META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT="15">
  <META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="Tue, 01 Jan 1980
1:00:00 GMT">
  <META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
  <META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="Sixerjman Web Cam">
  <META NAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="Sixerjman Web
Cam">
  <title>Sixerjman TV TV Cam Yo!</title>
 </head>
 <body bgcolor="white">
  <center>
   <font face="Arial,Helvetica,Verdana" size=-1>
    <h1>Sixerjman TV Yo!</h1>
    <h2>Sixerjman TV (SJTV) Network</h2><p><br>
    <img src="webcam.jpg" border=1 width=320
height=240 alt="My WebCam Image"><br>
    <font size=-2>This image will autoreload every 15
seconds.<br>
    Please DO NOT hit RELOAD on your browser.</font>
    <p><br><br><br>

    <p><br><br><br>
    <hr width=225>
    <font size=-2>Base Template courtesy of
     <b><i><a href="http://webcamworld.com/";
target="_top">WebCam World</a></i></b>.
        <a

Link</a>
    </font><p><br>
   </font>
  </center>
 </body>
</html>

To recreate, enter: 

lynx -traversal http://pages.cthome.net/brazziel

This command never ends, has to be terminated with Control-C.
