Something I read in the past week while investigating session issues of
my own is that you can run into problems using cookie-based sessions
with IE if your server's clock is behind the client machine's clock --
IE is particularly sensitive to this particular situation, and expires
the cookies -- which leaves the person using IE without a session.
