Running this from the command line, I see what looks like a correct cookie being printed:
Set-Cookie: CGISESSID=1a0d5dbd88aafd8d35e41b93f72a16b0; path=/; expire
+s=Thu, 04-Mar-2004 16:10:51 GMT; secure
Date: Thu, 04 Mar 2004 15:11:12 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

Are you, by any chance, blocking cookies in your browser?

If you have mozilla, install the live http headers extension. It should help you see exactly what headers the site is sending you, and determine if the cookie is or isn't present.

If you're using IE, I don't know how to help you, although I see that google showed some adverts for tools that appear like they might be useful when I searched for "live http headers".
