Ouch. That doesn't help any:

  All messages must have either valid cookies or at least one zero
  cookie. If both cookies are zero, this indicates a request for a
  cookie; if only the initiator cookie is zero, it is a response to a
  cookie request. 

...which implies that an initiator cookie of zero is acceptable in a
cookie request or a response to a cookie request.

Does ISAKMP have the concept of cookie requests?
