Yes, the workaround seemed a bit of voodoo to me. If the problem is that
Apache drops all cookies execpt the last one, changing the name probably
changes the order of 'cookies.items()' so that a different cookie gets
dropped. But you are still losing cookies and therefore likely to get
bitten again sooner of later.

After Easter, I will ask our sysadmins to change the server. The question
is: would Apache 1.3.24 fix this? Chris's answer seems to indicate that it
would not.
