I think that the following patches (that went into 2.8.2dev.3) should be
included in the next bugfix release:

* modify LYCookies.c to accept cookies with no value, in case the site resets a
  cookie by nulling out the value (reported by Larry Virden) - BJP
* modify cookie parsing to ignore comment lines beginning with a '#' (reported
  by Jonathan Bobin indicates that Netscape adds comments back, confusing Lynx)
  - BJP

The second one I would consider an actual bugfix, and Larry at the least
might consider the first a bugfix. :)  

(Note that the first one was applied in two steps between dev.3 and dev.4,
 I believe, I can find my original patches again if necessary.)
