I have a mysterious "mistaken identity" problem that I have not been
able to solve.

There are two common sources of this problem. One is an ID generation
system that is not unique enough. Another is a bug in your code with
globals (see the section of the Guide about debugging with httpd -X).

You could be having problems with a proxy on their end, but most proxies are
smart about this stuff.

I've debugged the problem and I don't think these are the reasons.  

1. I've compared the ID's of the mistaken identity parties involved and they're not the same.
2. I don't think it's a global vairable issue.  Basically, I just grab the cookie by $r->header_in('Cookie')
and decrypt it.  Besides, if it's global then the "mistaken" ID's should be from anywhere randomly.
There is this nagging fact that the parties involved are from the same ISP's i.e. user A1 and A2 are
from foo.com, user B1 and B2 are from bar.com, etc.  These ISP's are small operations.  I'm pretty
convinced that the problem is on their end.  My theory is that these proxies may have cached the
cookie with an IP address which they provide their clients.
