"error decoding authorization cookie"

I started seeing this tonight. Here's what I was doing...
I was working on multiple lists at once -- I'd brought up a first window and signed in to edit a list "../mailman/admin/ahl/...". I then brought up a second window to check some configuration options "../mailman/admin/test/...". That second window kept getting the cookie failures and having me log in again.
I closed the second window, went back to the first, and it's fine. So one version of this failure is if you're trying to do two things at once, because the authorization setup can't handle it. Is this something others who's seen this were trying to do, maybe had another admin window open without realizing it?

In the soon-to-be-checked-in SecurityManager.py changes, I cannot reproduce this. Let's hope for the best.
