[mod_python] (more) Cookies trouble

Hi all,

Now the following issue, see the scripts below for demonstration of how
it "works" here.
test.py/home serves a simple home page, with two hyperlinks (linking
back to modules within test.py) and a button linking to
"testuser.py/register". Here also something goes wrong: the language
session does not persist.
testuser.register finds there is no session present (no attribute
'session' in req present), so calls back to main.get_session(req) to get
it's session. There the session should be opened, and if not found,
defaults read from the "basic" cookie that is set previously, it is set
with path "/python/test.py" according to Mozilla's cookie manager.
get_session(req) however now appears to be unable to read the "basic"
cookie, and returns the default value to testuser.register, instead of
the value read in the cookie.
