[wp-testers] Cannot log out

[Jeff Dickey]

Eric, when you encountered the initial problem, which browser and version
were you using? Were/are you able to replicate the problem using a different
browser?

I recently had a similar cookies-related issue on Firefox 3.6 that turned
out to be a plugin problem.

Just curiousŠ

Jeff
