[Zope] nested login's w/ cookie crumbler

I am using cookie crumbler with the default acl-users.  The site
organization (much simplified) looks like

root - a - b - one- ... 
       |
       c - d - two- ...

There are separate acl-users folders at root, one, and two

The acl-users folder at one and two are disjoint.  The root 
acl-users folder is for admin and managers only.

There are two cookie crumblers (default parameterization),
each parallel with the acl-users folder in one and two.

Each of the cookie crumblers references the default stuff
(login_form, logged_in, etc.)

The two subsites are supposed to be isolated from each other.
This is done by roles.  Access to site one requires one of 
two or three roles, access two requires  other roles. 
Managers get to visit both.

At least that's the plan.  But there's several things wrong 
in terms of the observed behavior.  I'd appreciate a little help
from anyone who understands the interaction of Zope's security 
and the login mechanism.
