This one should be shallow, and I think fixed in MM21a4. You need to remove all traces of Cookie.py from the Mailman installed directories. We used to provide a very old version of Cookie.py, but as of Python 2.0, a better version comes with the Python distro. Mailman won't pick that up though if the one from misc is still installed.
bin/update should now delete this old file.
