Maybe we aren't communicating well: I'd expect to see X = Y *100% of
the time*. The session id for both the URL *and* the cookie should be
the same, otherwise mass confusion would ensue.

Usually, Tomcat won't explicitly expire an old JSESSIONID cookie...
just set another one with a new value. The browser should replace the
old value with the new one.
