Hi Jon,

This should do it:

[set-cookie name="testcookie" value="test" expire="Sunday, 01-Jan-2006
12:00:00 GMT"]

What you're saying makes sense about the extra cookie affecting the
session cookie.  The only aspect of this that that doesn't explain (to
me) is the fact that submitting any POST form on the site fixed the
problem even with the bad cookie and mv_no_session.  Maybe that was
because the session_id was being submitted in those forms?
