Best I can tell, when Options has setting of  "use custom settings for 
history" & "always use private browsing" is checked,
then TBB 3.5.1 for Windows isn't allowing 1st or 3rd party cookies. In 
spite of Torbutton's "restrict 3rd party cookies & other tracking data," 
NOT being checked under that scenario.

To check, I installed a cookie addon, so could access any stored cookies 
w/o the "allow cookies" box being checked.
Others can verify what I see.  If correct, the problem David sees may 
mostly affect the UI.
Still needs fixing - kind of disconcerting.
