I suggest you should use to 2.8.3dev.22. Some buffer overrun, possibly
remotely exploitable if you are using proxies, have been fixed in
dev.21 -> dev.22.

Some possible reasons:
- Mismatch between curses header file and curses lib actually linked against.
- Copied source over an older source tree? Or incomplete recompilation
ofter changing some configure options? Don't, or make sure everything
gets recompiled (do 'make clean' manually).
- Make sure there is no file named ".lynx-keymaps" in the home dir of the
account used for testing.
Possible workaround:
Undefine '#define HAVE_KEYPAD 1' in lynx_cfg.h after running configure.
(Just guessing here - could also make things worse.)

These are the default if "Emacs keys" is off.

This seems to be a different and separate problem.
It's as if the EMACS_KEYS_ALWAYS_ON:TRUE from your lynx.cfg
is not seen by lynx, or overridden in a ".lynxrc" file.
(Contrary to what the _ALWAYS_ might suggest, saved preferences
in .lynxrc take precedence).
