TOS's data segment is located in the ROM area starting at $00E00000, and
that is not read protected (actually, in the Milan, this is not ROM but
write-protected RAM, but the effect is the same).
Since MiNT installs its own cookie jar, that should not cause problems - it
definitely does not cause problems under TOS.
