lynx-dev issue with accept _all_ cookies

It appears that the following comment is not strictly true:

# If ACCEPT_ALL_COOKIES is set TRUE, Lynx will accept cookies from all
# domains with no user interaction.
# The default is defined in userdefs.h and can be overridden here,
# and/or toggled via the -accept_all_cookies command line switch.
#
#ACCEPT_ALL_COOKIES:FALSE
ACCEPT_ALL_COOKIES:TRUE

When I say:

lynx http://www.remarq.com/

I get this prompt:
Accept invalid cookie path=/default/main.pl as a prefix of '/default'? (y/n)


Now, granted, it _is_ an invalid cookie.  However, that still is not
what the comment implies regarding ACCEPT_ALL_COOKIES .  I was counting
on _never_ in any case seeing any prompts relating to cookies.

Besides the fact that remarq.com needs to fix their site, is there a need
for yet another cookie config that says 'accept invalidly formatted
cookies'?
