This (the fix I made, plus a followup fix) was what I recall: 2001-06-10 (2.8.4pre.2) * corrected order of parameters of is_prefix() function in the scan_cookie_sublist() function, broken in dev.21 changes (report by Ken Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) -TD 2001-06-02 (2.8.4dev.21) * modify cookie path prefix-comparison to ignore a trailing slash, e.g., /group/sftvnews/ versus /group/sftvnews (workaround for LV visiting http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sftvnews) -TD > P.S.
