Hi there,

it seems, w3m clears error messages from the terminal screen if it
never gets around to displaying a page:

e.g.
$ w3m freshmet.net
            ^ spelling error -> no such host
$

I have an xterm which switches between two displays. So for a moment, I
see "performing host lookup on freshmet.net". Then this second window
disappears, and I return to my command line.

$ w3m -dump freshmet.net
w3m: Can't load freshmet.net
$

on the other hand never tells me "performing host lookup on
freshmet.net", but perhaps I'm not meant to see that in "-dump" mode.
("Host not found" might be a nice answer. :->) Exit code interpretation
isn't too much fun either. ;-)

Possibly, the error is on the "first" window - you just never get too
see it.

w3m is 0.1.10, built with ncurses, on Linux-2.0.x and SunOS5.6/Solaris
2.6.

Greetings,
Moritz.
