Yes, that looks like what I remember (the actual characters in
the file name may have been different.)
Actually, IIRC I first saw this after correcting '#ifdef
PERSISTENT_COOKIES' in reload_read_cfg to '#ifdef
EXP_PERSISTENT_COOKIES' in some intermediate version a while ago.
Looking closer at those sections of code now, they seem wrong.
If it's necessary to temporarily store a way of the cookie file
name, that should not be done as (currently)
char * LYCookieFile_flag = LYCookieFile;
but something like
char * LYCookieFile_flag = NULL;
StrAllocCopy(LYCookieFile_flag, LYCookieFile);
(and a 'FREE(LYCookieFile_flag)' at the end) is needed.

Could you try with the changes above?

I remember a small change only, I think it was with slang; most COLOR
pairs were as before, maybe one or two had changed. It may have been
only a change in one of the A_{BOLD,UNDERLINE,REVERSE} attributes which
sometimes get combined with colors (and can have the effect of changing
the color on the linux console).
