I can't see how you managed to enter that extra space.  Spaces
are illegal in URLs, and I couldn't find any way to get Lynx to
let me enter one.  The links on the page are correct, the code
does exactly the right thing, and even when I typed in the URL
manually Lynx removed the space for me.

In any case there's nothing I can do--you are in fact making
an illegal request, and software is correctly reporting that fact.
If the software were itself /generating/ a bad link or someting,
then that would be a bug.

It shows as listed for me--it's #73.
