Ok, it's clear enough what's happening here. I will leave it to Fote to
fix, I'm not familiar enough with the code and would probably only make
things worse. It's picking up "TVG_PLANNER=Early" as the first
attribute/value pair, then "Edition...Samurai" as a second attribute
with no value. The loop fails when there is no value.
It looks like servers are not following the same cookie spec as Fote.
Lynx hasn't yet built up sufficient defenses against typical violations
in this area.
