selenium: delete all visible cookies raises an exception

Question

I am using selenium with a python client. When doing selenium.delete_all_visible_cookies I get the exception:

ERROR: Command execution failure. Please search the forum at http://clearspace.openqa.org for error details from the log window. The error message is: malformed URI sequence

The log window's error is:

Any idea what's going on?
