[Haskell-cafe] bizzaro Network.Curl problems

Has anyone ever experienced a situation similar to this? Wrote toy code to learn how to make a cookie jar. Toy code succeeds, add functionality and better organization. new improved program works correcty, as far as forming correct headers and GET requests. no cookie jar.. Checked old toy code, still works. Reduces new program to bare essentials until it looks like old toy program. Still, no cookie jar. Upshot is we are starting to suspect libcurl itself here and not the Network.Curl wrapper. Anyway, please respond if this bizzaro problem sounds familiar.
