Pylons/Paste bug in cookie-handling code?

[Max Ischenko]

Hello,

Here is the traceback I got from time to time on my app. The app is
running on 0.9.6rc1 but I had the same error on 0.9.5 as well. I
didn't report it earlier since I thought it could resolve itself after
upgrade.

Weird... I'm not sure how this exception and this cookie fit together
(unless you've removed the cookie value?). But probably errors in
parsing cookies should be warnings, not exceptions.

Oh, I should have retained HTTP_COOKIE value. Here it is

HTTP_COOKIE: 'dbx-postmeta=grabit=0-,1-,2-,3-,4-,5-,6-&advancedstuff=0-,1-,2-; __utmz=174710455.1185388743.48.4.utmccn=(referral)|utmcsr=alkweb.wordpress.com|utmcct=/2007/06/09/\x11070-it-:><?0=89-A->B7K20<

The offending part belongs to one of the google analytics key.
