PQ96113 resolves the following problem:

When an application adds the set-cookie header twice, the order of set-cookie headers may be changed. This will cause the application to receive an outdated cookie later on.

This is a problem with the servlet application potentially terminating a session early. The issue was occuring because the Web container commits the JSESSIONID cookie in the wrong order:

[10/14/04 11:18:50:543 MDT] 4436657 SRTServletRes d Commit header [Set-Cookie:JSESSIONID=0000Ist7f0_M6uMZiU5bjUHqL9q:-1;Path=/]
[10/14/04 11:18:50:543 MDT] 4436657 SRTServletRes d Commit header [Set-Cookie:JSESSIONID=0000Lw9cWMjPzE_DqjusDyzgWyb:-1;Path=/]
