Ok, but you should have typed "where" at the (gdb) prompt, that should be
more interesting.
For very large files, like the Lynx.trace: since you use Linux, I am sure
you have "less". Try
less +G Lynx.trace
(The +G just makes it jump to the end; you can then page backward and
forward with 'b' and SPACE.)
tail -20 Lynx.trace
should also give you the last screenful of the file.
Of course you can also try whether Lynx itself can load such a big file
:-) It should be able to, IF you have enough memory. And it may take a
while.
I don't know whether all this will lead to anything; it is not clear from
what date your "2.7.1F" is. If the problem persists, I suggest you try
whether the development code from <URL:http://sol.slcc.edu/lynx/current/>
has the same problem.
It is also possible that this isn't a Lynx problem but that you are
running out of memory; although in that case I would expect an "out
of memory" message before Lynx quits.
