Netscape's going to have to increase their 300 cookie ceiling in 
its next release to accommodate increased demand.  :-)  Is 
memory limitation the reason for limit?  Maybe they should have a 
field to define the cookie limit, something like this:

Memory cache:  3000  Kilobytes
  Disk cache:  5000  Kilobytes
Cookie cache:  3000  Kilobytes

Then if you set Cookie cache to ZERO it will solve the problem.
