Common sense would lead to the conclusion you've reached. Unfortunately,
this problem currently falls outside the realm of common sense. There are
several things which might cause multiple concurrent page requests from the
same user - framesets, the user opening another copy of the browser, the
multithreaded nature of browser request processing, heavy load on the server
causing wacky and essentially unexplainable problems. So, you'll need to
lock your session variables too.
