Bug report for release 2.4 on linux

Various bugs of Amaya binary release 2.4 for Linux libc6.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

When trying to load a page not on the local computer, I get an error:

>  The requested URL could not be retrieved
>  While trying to retrieve the URL:http://www.w3c.org/
>  The following error was encountered:
>  Connection Failed
>  The system returned:
>  (51) www.w3c.org
>  This means that:
>  The remote site or server may be down or non-existant.
>  Please try again soon.

Two things about this:
1. I'd like to know why Amaya doesn't find that location, even as
netscape does. This might not be a bug, but just incompetence on my
side.
2. "non-existant" should be spelled "non-existent".

---------------------------------------------------------------------

In the page Amaya/doc/amaya/Browsing.html the link to
"Configuring.html" should point to "Configure.html", because that's
what the file is actually called.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

When displaying the page structure (Ctrl-v Ctrl-s) of
"http://www.tux.org/~mayer/linux/results2.1.html" the vertical lines
get messed up. Of course, as I cannot get Amaya to display pages from
the Internet, I have actually displayed a local copy with
"file:/...". I have attached two gif files to show the messed-up lines
(sorry for the size of this email, but that seemed to be the easiest
way). Deleting the entry in the table where the lines get messed up
makes no difference. In fact, taking the first entry, and repeating it
135 times works fine, but repeating it 136 times causes the error (this
is with caption and table heading deleted). My guess is, that the
length of the table causes some integer (?) overflow to occur.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

When displaying any page, then displaying the page structure with
Ctrl-v Ctrl-s, then moving the mouse into the structure window,
hitting the page-down key once (or several times) and the up-arrow key
several times (but not just once), Amaya hangs. It ignores attempts to
close the window by the window manager, but reacts well to kill from
the shell. This behavior is repeatable. Here is an output of "top":
