[support] No Cookies Being Sent with 5.1

[sander-martijn]

May I ask why you would want to use the version packaged with ubuntu, 
especially if it is old and known to have problems and it's so simple to 
download a newer version?

Also why are you browsing with lynx?  Do you have a specific requirement 
to support lynx browsers on your site?

imho unless there's a reason you absolutely and only need to have it 
work with a standard install and with lynx, you should try using an 
updated version of drupal with a standard and modern web browser (eg 
firefox).  then at least you'll be seeing what everyone else is seeing 
before trying esoteric combinations and claiming it's drupal that isn't 
working.
