Cookies not getting reset in Netscape 4.72!!! URGENT!!!

[vikram das]

Hi,
I'm having a problem resetting cookies on Netscape 4.72. I set the preference in netscape to warn me before accepting any cookies, whihc also told me the expiration date of the cookie. Through this I could see that the cookie was being reset (the expiry time for the cookie was shown as year 1970). But when I try to access the site again, the cookie was not deleted & my servlet could still find the cookie. The code that 'm using to set & reset the cookie is listed below :

  
public void setCookie(String cookieName, String cookieValue) {
    Cookie cookie=null;
    int maxAge=60*60*24*365*10;
    cookie = 
         new Cookie(cookieName,cookieValue);
    cookie.setMaxAge(maxAge);
    cookie.setPath("/main"); 
    response.addCookie(cookie);
   return;
}
public void resetCookie(String cookieName, String cookieValue) {
    Cookie cookie=null;
    int maxAge=0;
    cookie = 
         new Cookie(cookieName,cookieValue);
    cookie.setMaxAge(maxAge);
    cookie.setPath("/main"); 
    response.addCookie(cookie);
   return;
}

Do you see any problem with this code. Personally I feel that its a bug in Netscape since the same thing works nicely in IE. But then I've not found any listing where this bug is listed.
Would really appreciate any help from you guys.
Thanks,
VD.
