In short it is the ability to send commands external to lynx such as another program or to the command line.  If one tries it a message appears saying this function needs to be compiled in, which the info in lynx.cfg confirms.

If a program crashes, OS X will have created a crash log; you can send that log to the developer of lynx and perhaps they can decipher it and figure out how to fix lynx so it doesn't crash anymore.
