For some reason, visited links are now only highlighted DURING THE SESSION, not
between sessions.  I checked what seemed the appropriate settings, and all seems
well, there (plus, I have not changed any settings regarding link highlighting
lately).

Been using Moz 1.4C1 about two or three weeks now.  Up until two or three days
ago, visited link highlighting was working properly (hitory preseved between
sessions).  Now, it has stopped working.  Been messing with the cache/GID
resources problem [bug 204374], but have not changed anything else.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Visit a link
2.  It shows up in history
3.  Close Mozilla
4.  Re-open Mozilla (I use quick start)
5.  Link is not in history

Actual Results:  
Visited links are not highlighted because they are not in history.

Expected Results:  
Higlight the links (keep them in history between sessions).

Update:  Cleared link history; visited links are now being stored in history
again.  Seems to be some sort of "list full condition."

I use visited links to tell me what messages I have read on a particular BBS. 
Visited links not working means that I cannot tell what I have viewed and what I
have not.  I would like this to work.
