Now that I think of it, it should not require a hard drive to
support cookies for the duration of a *session* (which was where
the problem lay).  UNIX-based lynx, in fact, does just that--
it remembers cookies in memory, then loses them when you exit
(at least that's the default).

(As someone pointed out earlier, it's probably "floating proxies" that
are the problem.)
