The leak wasn't OS dependent. It was always present if you used cookies. It
turned out to be a missing free() in the cookie_cleanup() function.
Live with the bug or get your lib/cookie.c update from the CVS repository!

On the positive side: I added a memory debug system that'll be very helpful
in the future. We'll track down memory leaks very fast the next time.
