A few more details:

- I don't have any other cookies for the domain
- There is not an underscore in the domain/subdomain
- My privacy setting are at their lowest (accept all cookies)
- The cookie is there and accessible until I close the browser and
restart
- I'm sure there's a simple Rails reason for all of this.  I don't
want to have to persist the session to make this work, is that even
possible in Rails?

Thanks again.
