Don't see how a firewall could affect cookies.  Possibly this is a
browser-specific issue, though.  I'm using current-rev Safari on a Mac.
I notice it shows the commitfest cookie as having no particular
expiration time, which may mean that some Apple-specific expiration
policy gets applied.  But on the other hand, when I got prompted to
log in this morning, I checked the cookie list and there was such a
cookie there already --- so it wasn't that the browser had just dropped
it.
