Hmm, the strace isn't very helpful, sorry.  There's actually no hint what
happens.  It's a function inside Cygwin which crashes but I guess you'll
have to debug that by yourself.

I tried the current lynx 2.8.4-5 in an ssh session, in rxvt and in a
console window, both, the fat-fingered as well as the correct link. 
No crash. 

Then I rebuilt lynx for 64 bit mode (already uploaded to cygwin.com) and
tried all of the above again.  No crash.

Then I rebuilt the latest Cygwin from CVS and tried again.  Guess what?
No crash.
