You misunderstood the problem. This has to do with the DOS BREAK
setting getting restored after lynx exits. See the code in LYMain.c
that gets the initial setting, then restores it after lynx exits.
The DJGPP code sets BREAK checking on during lynx, so that you can
break out of a hung connection. This works with SLang, but not with
PDCurses.
