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.
