I haven't investigated this issue very closely but I doubt that
changes in the 1.1.1 branch caused this bug.  Its certainly possible
but we've been limiting the changes to must have fixes.  Its hard to
imagine one of these changes impacting jsCookmenu.

Unfortunately I do not have time to track this down and prove it to
you.  If the other committers have the time and inclination to track
this down, fix it, build a new RC, rerun the Cactus tests and then
rerun the TCK then perhaps they will agree to your request.

My guess is that everyone wants to move on with this release since we
don't have concrete evidence suggesting that *new* bugs have been
introduced on the branch.  Its not like you (or anyone else) is stuck.
 The bug has been fixed on the trunk so what's the problem?  I'd
rather get to work on a 1.1.2 release with a ton of other changes that
have happened on the trunk.
