For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.8.4.1b-3.2.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 2.8.5-2sarge1 of lynx.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your lynx-ssl package.");
