The lynx port uses pledge(7) to disallow certain operations, including spawning another process. If those operations are attempted anyway, it *is* supposed to crash. It would be a little nicer if the operation just failed rather than crashing the process, however the end result would still be "can't do what you want", so the simplest way to do that is to avoid setting DOWNLOADER: to open the file.
