upon startup elinks tries to create a socket
$HOME/.elinks/socket. This socket is used for inter process
communication between different elinks instances.

If your home directory is an openafs volumn elinks fails to create
this socket, because openafs doesn't allow the creation of
sockets. Without this socket elinks is not able to handle bookmarks
history etc.

This problem can be avoided by creating the socket in an other
directory (i.e. /tmp ;-)).

Could you test if this problem still persists in elinks 0.13.1 ?
