That is obvious, but I still think lynx should be fixed to look like other
browsers here. If PHP blindly followed RFC-1867, other stuff would have
as well.

There is a reason the file upload code is in a file called rfc1867.c. I
wrote it to blindly follow that RFC and anything that deviates from the
RFC is likely to break it. It isn't the most solid piece of code around
and could definitely use a rewrite.

Ragnar, have a look at php4/main/rfc1867.c and see if you can spot the
trouble there.
