 COOKIEHASH is defined in WP 2.6.2 as the md5 hash of the domain in wp-
 settings.php
 {{{
 if ( ! defined('WP_INSTALLING') ) {
         // Used to guarantee unique hash cookies
         $cookiehash = md5(get_option('siteurl'));
         /**
          * Used to guarantee unique hash cookies
          * @since 1.5
          */
         define('COOKIEHASH', $cookiehash);
 }
 }}}

 In WPMU 2.6.2 wp-settings.php, COOKIEHASH is never actually set:
 {{{
 // Used to guarantee unique hash cookies
 $cookiehash = '';
 /**
  * Used to guarantee unique hash cookies
  * @since 1.5
  */
 define('COOKIEHASH', '' );
 }}}

 This causes problems with bbPress integration (at 1.0-alhpa-2), as the
 cookie names are different. bbPress also uses the md5 hash of the domain,
 and since WPMU is not nothing is appended to the cookie name so they are
 truly different cookies. get_option('site_url') returns the domain, so it
 should not cause problems with sub-domain installs.

 This probably only causes problems with bbPress integration, but most WPMU
 installs would probably like to use bbPress as well.

 Better yet, for performance, calculate the hash once at install time and
 put it it wp-config.php?
