Sorry, but this report is not quite right. dev.8 does not leave
files as reported, but dev.22 and pre.3 do. When LYNX_TEMP_SPACE is
not defined, the temp files are being left in the directory defined
in userdefs.h, TEMP_SPACE. Therefore, LYNX_TEMP_SPACE is working
correctly.
The real problem is why temp files are being left behind. Until this
problem is solved, I cannot test Lynx in a public-access environment.
The temp files created are the files which have been uncompressed by
e.g. gzip (gunzip) and are then passed to a second program for reading.
In mime.types:
application/octet-stream gz
text/x-archive arc
In mailcap:
application/octet-stream; /usr/local/bin/gzip -d %s
text/x-archive; /usr/local/bin/most %s
Access something like:

After normal exit from Lynx, have files left like:
/tmp/L29632-2TMP.arc
