Jquery UI Tabs and cookie option problem

Jquery UI Tabs and cookie option problem

I change jquery and jquery ui to the last version (1.4.4 and 1.8.6) and i noticed a problem with tabs that have a cookie option set.
The tabs don't load the ajax content and with opera the error reported is the following :

 Uncaught exception: TypeError: Cannot convert 'b.cookie' to object
Error thrown at line 381, column 633 in <anonymous function: _cookie>():
    return b.cookie.apply(null,[d].concat(b.makeArray(arguments)))
called from line 384, column 388 in <anonymous function: _tabify>(d):
    j.selected=parseInt(i._cookie(),10);

called from line 31, column 8 in <anonymous function>():
    $("#tabsChoixFonctionnalités").tabs(




















This behaviour wasn't present with 1.4.2 and 1.8.

At this moment, i have only two choices :
- unset the cookie options
- reverse to 1.4.2 and 1.8

Best regards.
