Package: lynx
Version: 2.8.5-2sarge2
Severity: normal

To reproduce:

   - install apache from sarge
   - make sure there are enough servers started
   - do /usr/bin/apachectl status

you will observe a temporary directory in /tmp.

Running this regularly will clutter /tmp with temporary directories upto
someone cannot really create any files there (too many links).

Other way to reproduce:

   lynx -dump http://some-big-stuff | (dd bs=1 count=1)

(ie ensure lynx sees the closed filedes)

Work-around for apachectl: something like, line 154:

   $LYNX $STATUSURL | (awk ' /process$/ { print; exit } { print } '; cat > 
/dev/null)

This was reported for woody as of #298836 but is still there in sarge,
unfortunately.  A work-around patch for apachectl is there.
