[hobbit] Cookie 35172 not found, dropping ack

[Alan Sparks]

I think I have a little more context on what is happening with these
sporadic 'hobbitd' yellow statuses... but I'm not sure why.

I believe it is happening in my environment on short-lived alerts, and
the alerts clear at about the same time as someone acknowledges the
alert.  It appears that the cookies /are/ valid (or at least were, a few
minutes ago) -- but as soon as the alert clears, the cookie is
considered invalid and a mistimed (by a minute or a few seconds) will
trip the 'cookie' message.

I though I remembered reading on the list that cookies are supposed to
be remembered for 24 hours... but it appears that the used cookie is
forgotten almost immediately.  Is this a bug, or intentional?  Could
this be issues with time values in 64 bits?

Any advice appreciated.
