bad_cookie means that authen_ses_key($r, $cookie) did not return a
username.

Because authen_ses_key() is implemented by your AuthCookie subclass, and
not AuthCookie iteslf, AuthCookie can not tell you anything about *why*
authen_ses_key() failed.  So you'll have to figure out why your subclass
failed to return the username.
