While we're at it, I'll fix three more problems I saw:

int pull_html(const char *url)
{
  // I was tired when I wrote the original function.
  char cmdline[256];
  // adds redirection and removes buffer overflow
  sprintf(cmdline, "lynx -source %.224s > temp.tmp", url);
  // oops!
  return system(cmdline);
}
