According to the Javadocs for Cookie, the proper way to delete a cookie is to
set the max age to zero before adding it:

  Cookie cookie = new Cookie(foo, arbitrary value);
  cookie.setMaxAge(0);
  response.addCookie(cookie);

Even if Tomcat is changed to not throw an NPE in this case, your cookie will
still not be deleted.
