All of a sudden, sites that have worked fine for years cause links to crash. This happens on MANY sites, and the debug log (which I will attach) seems to indicate Google code as a problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start links 2. Go to any of a number of sites that have this problem 3. Actual Results: Links crashes with the following messages: INTERNAL ERROR at ipret.c:628: Aiee! Unknown variable type!

You neglected to post links version and the link in URL is totally irrelevant. <snip> This driver file does not exist or has been recently remove from our database. Please try another driver file, or Search DriverGuide. </snip> Put links version into summary and post some URL where links segfaults.

I realise this is a dupe, and I'm not the reporter, but I wanted to add one thing. The link in the URL wasn't totally irrelevant - the bug report form asks for an " URL that demonstrates the problem you are seeing". This is what he gave - an URL that segfaulted links as the problem stated. It's true that he didn't give the version, which is important, but I just wanted to say that it wasn't totally irrelevant, as you said.
Closing.
In my defense, I will say that I did a search on links before filing this bug, but the original submitter used "www-client/links-2.1pre17-r1" (with no spaces anywhere) so the search didn't find it. :)
