CookieStore::CookieOverflow

I have recently upgraded to rails 2.1.0. and since I have, the parts of
my app that deal with CookieStore (sessions) has failed to work any
longer. In Crome and most other browsers my code simply fails, IE7 is a
little more forgiving since I can get logged in and then I can only see
certain pages. My session code is pretty simple, a session is created by
saying:

session[:user] = @user

@user being the info collected from the users table, yada, yada, yada.
Here is the error I get when I run my app in IE7:

CGI::Session::CookieStore::CookieOverflow

Sorry for the mess. Anyone know what this means? Thanks,
