It's put there by the Netscape browser to prevent against some sort of
exploit - if the cookies file is run as Javascript it will get stuck on
the first line and not execute code placed by some other cookie. I
don't know the details. If you delete it Netscape puts it back.
I expected to find the answer in a FAQ somewhere on the web, but no
luck - only more people asking about it :(
Best reference I could find (not good) was:

Does anyone out there know the whole story?
