Zope stores cookies keyed by their id, but browsers can present two cookies with the same id, set at different paths:

from http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2109.txt:

"If multiple cookies satisfy the criteria above, they are ordered in
   the Cookie header such that those with more specific Path attributes
   precede those with less specific.  Ordering with respect to other
   attributes (e.g., Domain) is unspecified."

The first (i.e. most specific and therefore most relevant) cookie will be unavailable from Zope. This is a real problem when using cookie paths to manage multiple sessions with differing data depending on the locale.
