Other than trying the next snapshot, not really. The most likely cause
of this error is a problem with inconsistent URL signatures, because
there's no host or server to contact. The error message is a bit of a
red herring in this case. However, I can't reproduce the error, and
I haven't seen any changes to the URL class since 3.2.0b3 that would
change the way it handles URLs like the one above. Now, if you had
start_url: file:/win/MyDocuments/OrgTxt-Lnx.htm
that would be a different story.

The handler for file:// URLs uses a mime.types file to determine the
content-type based on file name extensions. Right now, the handler
for local_urls, which can map any arbitrary URL to the local file
system, uses a small set of hard-coded file name extensions. With the
new file:// handler in 3.2 and its expanded capabilities, there's no
need to maintain a separate and more limited handler for local_urls.
The code for the two should somehow be merged together.
