Thanks for the investigation!

Please don't close bugs just because they're not a bug in the package
they were reported against. That it's not a bug in Lynx doesn't mean
it's no bug at all. The correct handling is to reassign the bug to the
package causing the bug.

Hence I'm reopening the bug again and reassigning it to the libc6
package.
