Re: [RoR] Edge rails having problems with cookies and sessions?

Here's the change that is causing your problem:

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/actionpack/lib/ 
action_controller/session/cookie_store.rb

In short, you need to stuff something like the rdoc says in your  
environment.rb:

config.action_controller.session = { :secret => "some secret phrase" }
