I'll do it in a minute. Not sure why it's a security issue though. It's just a plain bug. If a
version object doesn't exist, then a cookie (whether generated through the FTP server or through an
HTTP post (for example, from a cached management interface page) should be ignored, or more likely,
generate an error with the option "would you like to stop working in this non-existent version?"

This issue is in the following bugs:
