Recent releases of Apache (1.3.23 & 1.3.24) swallow all but one cookie
from the origin server;  changing the cookie name *may* help, but only
because it changes the hash key.  Other workarounds include:

  - Don't set the persistent '__ac_name' cookie (only a convenience,
    not a necessity).

  - Downgrade apached to 1.3.22 until they manage to fix their bug.
