Are you using cookies to pass the session ID?  I strongly suggest using 
URI based session ID's, just for reasons like this.  You can check out my

Are you using IP addresses for session authentication anywhere?  AOL's 
system seems to have users browsing via a proxy which can change IP's 
along the way.
