Bug description:  setcookie function set value as 'deleted'

Description:
------------
setcookie funciton set value as 'deleted'

setcookie( 'delete_me', '', time() - 1000, '/', '', '' );

The setcookie function will silently change the '' cookie value to
'deleted' and override your expiry time to time() - 1 year.

I only noticed this when the computer I was testing on had it's date set
incorrectly to the > 1 year in the past.  The computer connects to the
server which has it's date correctly set and thus the cookie on the client
doesn't delete but stores the value "deleted" instead.
