I don't know why the original changes were made to disable version
control for the cookies file, but I assume that if it is to be done,
`version-control' as `set' locally in the buffer is supposed to have
the same value as the one inserted into the Local Variables section of
the file.  Right now the former is set to t and the latter is set to
never.
