acks & maint.pl aren't working

[Tom Georgoulias]

Upgraded to 4.0.2 this morning and while most everything went smoothly, 
a couple of things did not.  Not sure if these two are related just yet.

ack:

Cannot acknowledge an alert using the cookie from either the subject 
line of the email alert or the command line (~/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 
"hobbitdboard host=secret.nandomedia.com test=conn 
fields=hostname,testname,cookie").

Strangely enough, it seems teh cookies are still being regenerated 
frequently, instead of remaining valid for 24 hours (like I thought the 
latest patch did).

Trying to disable the same system via the disable CGI didn't work 
either.  The script stops at "Processing" and the system is not disabled.

This is what I see in /var/log/httpd/error_log
