This bug appears more than once in Bugzilla. So far, attempts
to duplicate it haven't been successful, so it has never
been tracked down.
Cookie handling has been rewritten in Tomcat 3.3 and the
bugs have been "resolved" as being fixed in 3.3.
If you are interested, I can try to supply advice about
preparing a slightly customized Tomcat 3.2.3 that
dumps additional information. Maybe we can get a
clue about what is going wrong.
I'd offer to do more, but my hands are full with Tomcat 3.3.
Cheers,
Larry
