Ok, that's more plausible than the MonkeyDecodingFilter patch. In fact 
these lines were changed after 1.0.3.2 (since the SVN tag was modified 
later, I assumed the MonkeyDecodingFilter was the only larger change).

One explanation why this cookie expiration patch may be problematic is 
that the "expires" attribute makes MSIE regard the cookie as persistent 
(i.e. not a session cookie) and thus apply a different security level 
that inhibits the cookie.

In fact I consider it also a security risk to set the expires attribute. 
If you close your browser and leave your PC switched on, anybody can 
reactivate your session within the session timeout, without logging in.

And another problem may appear when the times on the server and client 
are not in sync or time zones not computed correctly.

So I think that patch should be reverted.
