Most likely a bug in Lynx that screws up your terminal settings.  The Lynx
maintainer will need to either track it down or report it upstream.  Since
you did not attach the output of "cygcheck -svr" as requested on the
problems page, I don't know what in your environment tickles the bug
(e.g., what your TERM setting is).  FWIW, the above works just fine for
me.

In the meantime, here's a workaround: run "stty sane" after lynx.  You can
create a wrapper script that does it automatically.

I'm not sure exactly how to interpret the first sentence above, but lynx,
AFAIK, just doesn't like being suspended...
HTH,
