Definitely not encouraging using an old version, especially if someone
is doing something cookie related -- so much has changed even in that
one area that it's worth the upgrade. But, I do know that some places
might be more likely to apply a patch for a bugfix as opposed to
jumping to a new version (the place where I work, for example) because
they don't have enough time to test things before they put them out
for the general public.

I don't have 2.8.1rel.2 source breakout sitting around, but at least
in current dev version, -source (along with -dump, -get_data and
-post_data) sets the "dump_output_immediately" variable, which is
where the bug in LYCookie.c in 2.8.1 is found. I may be wrong, but I
don't think so.
