Cookie Value - problem one more time

Question

when I set a Cookie like: response.addCookie(new Cookie("Name","hello"));
and I try to get the value: cookie.getValue();
I will get: hello no problem!
But when I set a Cookie with an String identifier like:
String str = "hello";
response.addCookie(new Cookie("Name",str));
and I try to get the value: cookie.getValue();
I will get: "hello " (it's written in "")
how can I prevent this ?????????
when I try to compare the CookieValue with another String, I'll allways get a wrong result because of these ""

I do not have the solution... but the same problem with a nice iMac G5 purchased in July 2005.
My Mac operated very silently untill 6 month ago;problem MAY ( I am not sure) have started when I upgraded to 10.4.10 ; even with few applications and low CPU usage (80% or more inactive), it seems that I have the following regrettable chain of events;
==> the CPU temperature is quite high ( 60°c to 72°c most of the time, ie 140-160 °F)
==> resulting in fan turning at high speed ( 2.000 for CPU and system, 2500 for HD), and changing speed all the time
==> resulting in a noisy computer
I am SURE this was not the case 6 month ago, and I suspect it is linked to my upgrade to 10.4.10.
I did all sorts of reinstall, authorization repair, SMU reset, fan clean-up with no sucess.
