Synopsis: 
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cookie name Path is a reserved token

Description:
When a JSP page or servlet is loaded very often (about 70 times per second), we get many error messages on the server console like this:

2000-11-10 04:12:06 - Ctx( /SoftWork ): Exception in: R( /SoftWork + /SQL-Test.jsp + null) - java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cookie name Path is a reserved token

        at org.apache.tomcat.util.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:498)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

The error occurs only if there is heavy load on the server.
