The fact it tries to login also on savannah.nongnu.org while you do
not check the correspondant box is strange. 

In the past, there was troubles while trying to login on both
sv.nongnu.org + sv.gnu.org with password with no-pure ascii
characters. I thought I fixed it (people with this problem send me
positive feedback).
Maybe the fix broke something.

Can you tell me which version of links you use? I used to test
Savannah with links 2.0.x without problems.

But I've just got links-ssl 0.98 from debian, tried, and got the same
error message.
I'll try to find out how to fix that tomorrow or maybe in two day -
tomorrow I'll be at University the most of day.
