User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; OpenBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060213 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; OpenBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060213 Firefox/1.5.0.1

underscore is illegal for domain names.
sorry, i don't have rfc numbers but i am pretty sure it is, anyone can look it up.

IE6 does the right thing, discards the cookie, but maybe in a wrong way:
silently, so noone knows it happened.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a local subdomain containing an underscore
2. create cookie
3. retrieve cookie

Actual Results:  
a cookie is created.

Expected Results:  
cookie should not exist
OS: OpenBSD → Windows XP
Version: unspecified → 1.5.0.x Branch
