I've done this modification on a fresh 2.3.0-final installation
with no other products installed, on localhost, and no special 
content other than a folder and an index_html document 
to test my modifications. 

However I've tested what you suggested, after deleting my 
Netscape 4.75 cookies file
under Linux (2.2.18 kernel), the problem remains.

If I check the cb_copy_data length then it returns: 

16765 under Netscape and 14xxx under Lynx

With Lynx I've got the time to see a message saying 
"500: Internal Server Error" but then it disappears and 
the message about the cookie length appears.

Please could you test my method and see if it works
for you because I sincerely don't know why it doesn't work here ?

Thanks in advance for your time.
