[CHROME] gmail cookie mutation
Using the dev version of https-everywhere google chrome extension upon entering Gmail, a cookie called GMAIL_STAT_xxxx is stored. This cookie grows larger and larger while doing stuff inside Gmail. Upon the cookie reaching a certain size, Gmail becomes unavailable and replies with error 400. Sometimes there are 2 versions stored of this cookie, one that has the secure flag on and one that doesn't. The issue goes away by removing those GMAIL_STAT_xxxx cookies, but after some activity inside Gmail it re-appears.
That cookie doesn't get stored using an xpi for Firefox built from the same git repo version (HEAD). So it's a google-chrome specific issue.
The problem also goes away when one removes the 'mail' entry from the securecookie regexp inside GoogleServices.xml
Google Chrome version: 23.0.1271.97
