The patch fixes the automatic cookie accepting, but...

...there still (got this with unpatched version too) appears to be 
something odd with using persistent cookies via proxy (Squid/1.2.beta25
in my case to be exact) as if I try eg. searching something from IMDb,
I get error message: 

 The requested URL could not be retrieved

 The following error was encountered:
        * Invalid Request       

 Some aspect of the HTTP Request is invalid. Possible problems:
        * Missing or unknown request method
        * Missing URL
        * Missing HTTP Identifier (HTTP/1.0)
        * Request is too large
        * Content-Length missing for POST or PUT requests
        * Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed

If I disable proxy or use unsaved cookie everything works fine...
