Strange, strange problem with google, lynx and brltty on one linux machine

[Cheryl Homiak]

This is a really strane problem. It doesn't appear to be a speakup problem and I can't figure out how it could be a brltty problem, so I'm trying this list.

First of all, I can load google fine using either fink's lynx or macports' lynx on my Mac.
On my linux machine, I can load google fine with elinks.
However, this is what is happening when I try to load google using lynx on my linux machine.
I have brltty running and it shows everything to "always allowing …" or even to "data transfer complete" and then the braillelite, which is on a serial port, seems to freeze there. If I change text consoles and then go back the braille will have updated and I can arrow down with braille showing where I am up to the "sign in" link and then it freezes again. The console itself is functional; I can quit lynx but the braille still doesn't update until I change consoles and change back. But if I quit lynx with ctrl-c, the braille updates immediately to the shell prompt.

However, this is not a problem of the website not loading all the way. If I also have speakup running, it lists the links and I can arrow to them and hit enter on them; once I go to a new page, I have full use of braille again but if I go back to the first google page, I can only arrow down to sign in and then it freezes once again. I've tried a bunch of different websites and it only seems to happen with google. In case I haven't been clear, I am using the text-based console. Does anybody have any idea what could be going on here?
