When opening a URL in a new window via AppletContext.showDocument(),
the session cookie is no longer passed over to the new window when Next Gen plugin is enabled.
Note, the applet is in an iframe.
This behavior is observed in JRE 1.6.0_18 running in IE 6 and IE7.
The problem did not exist in any previous version of the JRE, including both 1.5 and 1.6.

Expected Result:
When the applet is loaded, the pop up shows the cookies in this page.
There should be 3 cookies:
1.Permanent cookie that was added by the applet.html
2.Session cookie that was added by servlet code
3.Jession cookie
We expect to see all three cookies passed to the target page -- showCookie.html

Actual Result:
When user clicks on the applet, and showCookie.html is displayed in new browser window the second cookie is missing. (IE 6 and IE 7 Only)
Frequency: Always

We had the same code since JRE 1.4 and never had this problem before.
This works with JRE 1.6.0_17
