Thanks for the idea, Josh.
I will do this, but still this hack doesn't answer the question: "Why does it
work locally without hitch, yet totally barfs on a very similar configuration
on the net?"
As I mentioned, this is a re-write. I've learned my lesson: never try to patch
another's code -- write it fresh! There is simply way too much weird behavior
happening with the present code: sessions not passing, odd error messages
about redeclaration, and conditionals where both are passed.
Time to dump it and start fresh!
Thanks (to everyone) for your help and pointers!
