After upgrading Mozila form 0.9.8 to 0.9.9 on linux debian unstable
the login to our company notes server via http:...:81/ does not work
any longer. The Problem seems to be in accepting the Notes Domino
cookie. It is reproducible. The Notes HTTP Headers were collect via wget.

The bug is fixed in the nightly CVS snapshot, I tracked it down in the 0.9.9
source code.
The Cookie from a hostname ltlvm001.lvm.de containing 2 dots and digits was
considered as an ip address and so the attempt so set a domian wide cookie was
rejected by mozilla.

The new source checks with a new function for valid ip addresses and works OK now.
