It's an upgrade of RT. More specifically it's an RT 3.4.5 DB I copied to a clean MySQL 5 host and did the upgrade process to arrive at 3.8.10<BR>
<BR>
Right now it looks like fastCGI is the problem. We only have six or so people logged in at the moment but testing it on my box with curl used to consistently replicate the problem with RT giving us an RT_SID_ cookie and now I cannot reproduce it.<BR>
<BR>
I will let you know tomorrow when the load gets cranked up if you're interested in chasing this.<BR>

As I mentioned to your initial mail, every time this comes up, someone
has a proxy, mod_cache or some other thing in the middle causing
network problems.
If you can provide a replication recipe for something like this that we
can run locally, we're happy to investigate it, but so far it's always
turned out to be a local misconfiguration.
Replication recipe in this case would be clean install of RT, full
exact apache configuration and probably operating system version also.
Otherwise there are too many variables involved.
