Default Elinks vs Daemonforums

Hi.

Is there anything special (e.g. compression) with daemonforums? Among many websites and forums, this is the only one I've ever seen that elinks fails to display. I can reload as many times as I want, it always says OK (on the status bar) but displays absolutely nothing. When I check the page's HTML source, I see a normal header from the DOCTYPE up to some point in the CSS code, and then it's completely garbled, as in:
Code:
[...]
        color: #FFFFFF;                                                                                                                                            
        text-decoration: none;                                                                                                                                     
}

[...]
And it goes on like that...

All other browsers, whether graphic or text-based, display it normally.

Anyone having the same problem? Anyone has an explanation or suggestion?

Thanks.

It works for me, ELinks 0.12pre5 under Linux. I can try with NetBSD tomorrow.

Thanks for testing. Probably some bug in 0.11 then.

EDIT: confirmed. I just compiled the 0.12 "unstable GIT snapshot" from the official website and I'm posting this using it.

I had a similar problem before with midori.
Right now, I'm using elinks on a B&W G3 running OpenBSD-4.8.
