Interesting... Since session variables are maintained on the server it would
make sense that you are overwriting the same session variable with each
unique login. You might have to maintain separate state between the two
browsers by passing a unique querystring value for each person logged in or
by passing some sort of hidden field value from page to page for each
person/browser. Just a thought...
