Hi Larry,
I can put some logging statements in and see if I can find out more about
what's going on. However, I think the call creating the new cookie should at
least be wrapped in a try/catch to prevent the exception from blowing that
particular request. I'll do that and submit it to the Dev list.
Thanks,
--jeff
