| 
| I don't know if this is fixed already, but I just ran into a crash
| when
| trying to select a link on m.facebook.com. Backtrace is attached.
| Presumably, I had an expired cookie that was being removed.
| scan_cookie_sublist can remove cookies from the sublist, but it then
| tries
| to iterate to the next item, relying on memory that it just freed.
| The
| attached patch should fix it.
| 
| Note: This only applies to 2.8.8; 2.8.7 handled this correctly.

thanks (there was a bug-report on Fedora which this may be related to)
