What does "disallowed key characters" mean?

When I try to open a link to my college's library website the message, "disallowed key characters" appears. What does this mean? In the past, I was able to open this link and access the library's catalogs without a problem.

Supporting the previous suggestion, I saw a library website mention clearing cookies as a remedy for that error message: http://answers.library.utoronto.ca/a.php?qid=979793
