As I mentioned in my other e-mail, I seem to have stumbled upon some bugs in 
the SQL session code. But I cannot find any useful source of information on 
session options. So far I've tried setting "USE_DB_SESSION = false", which 
makes no discernable difference (i.e. sessions are still lost), but I can't 
fathom what other options exist. To make things stranger still, sessions work 
fine for admin, but not for the user account.

So if someone could point me to or provide me with the session options, and 
some guidance, I'd be extremely grateful.

Tom
