It's possible (haven't seen any recent examples) that the trace code is initializing things as a side-effect. More common is for the tracing to slow things down so timing problems are not as apparent. (Mozilla is certainly slow, so that's consistent behavior). > With the -trace flag, I do see some lynx output going to stderr > instead of the Lynx.trace file: > /home/lwv28/i/src/Unix/lynx/t/lynx2-8-6/src/LYMain.c: 4074: > parse_arg(arg_name=http://wiki.tcl.tk/4, mask=2, count=2) > /home/lwv28/i/src/Unix/lynx/t/lynx2-8-6/src/LYMain.c: 4121: parse_arg > startfile:http://wiki.tcl.tk/4 That's normal. Lynx doesn't open the trace file right away, so some useful information gets written to stderr, which is the default stream for this. -- Thomas E.
