A few observations

Paul et. al,

I have been doing some debugging on my own.  I looked closer at the 
cmdline that was failing.  It
failed after a Set-Cookie header field with a seg. fault.

Then I looked closer at the code and the -b option for curl takes a 
temporary cookie file as an
arguement.  These files were either non-existant or empty in my 
debugging attempts.  I noticed
the option build was looking for $cookies != 0.  In my case, even 
without cookies in the @cookie
array, I was seeing a value of 1 in $cookie.

I changed line 536 in version 0.7.9 to be $cookies > 1 in place of 
$cookies != 0.

After the change, I am able to go through the Logging In...., and 
Following redirect...,  then I get
the message telling me that Hotmail's page structure has changed.

I am using curl 6.5.2  opensll 0.9.5a-1, and Perl 5.8.0

Help ?
