Browse crashes adding a cookie when connecting to an XS the first time

[greenfeld]

1. Install OLPC 12.1.0 os20 on a XO-1.5.
2. Connect to a XS network and register to the schoolserver while Browse is NOT opened.
3. Start Browse for the first time, and click on the "Local Schoolserver" link.
4. Browse (version 140) will crash due to a segmentation fault that appears to be related to a strcmp() while adding a cookie.
5. Attempting to restart Browse to go back to the XS usually will work.

backtrace

[dsd]

When browse is opened for the first time after registering, it explicitly creates a cookie (from Python code) and adds it to libsoup's cookie storage.

But a missing annotation in libsoup caused this in-memory copy to be trashed soon after the cookie was created, causing the crash seen here.

It didn't occur on subsequent runs, because the cookie *was* correctly saved on disk, and subsequent runs detect that the cookie is already present in the DB so they don't create another one.

RPM for testing:  http://dev.laptop.org/~dsd/20120823/libsoup-2.38.1-2.fc17.dsd1.i686.rpm

Fixed upstream and in  https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libsoup-2.38.1-3.fc17

The Fedora package fixes the crash; will need an ARM build for XO-1.75 as well.

[dsd]

Will be included in OLPC 12.1.0 build 21.

This is fixed for XO-1.5 and XO-1.75 in OLPC 12.1.0 build 21.
