I'll say that the answer is no, also. If it's a case of one session variable
being "lost" while the others remain, then it's a problem with your code.
somewhere, somehow, you're assigning a value to that session variable and
not realizing it.
If all of the session variables are lost, then it's still a problem with
your code and there are more possibilities. Perhaps the session ID isn't
being transmitted or the domain is changing?
