If this is an error introduced by my recent LYCookie.c patches, I feel
obliged to help track it down.  If it's something that broke because
Lynx isn't accepting anymore that it would before (by mistake), I would
also like to know.

So, is this something that acted differently with earlier lynx versions?

Without further info, I am inclined to assume that the screwup is on their
side.

Maybe you can edit down the trace output.  Or else put it temporarily on a
server and make it accessible.

Did you try it _without_ accepting all cookies?  If so, did you get an

   Accept invalid cookie domain=... for '...'? (y/n)

prompt?
