I've never had problems myself with TC 3.3.x-5.0.x (I stopped using 3.2.x long ago :). IE 6.x has a cookie-lockout feature that may be causing the problem. With the factory settings, Tomcat should be fine. Go to Tools->Internet Options->Privacy to see if your settings are too high (e.g. anything above "Medium High").
