Micha,

I once had the *exact* problems Martin described, and they were due to a
badly configured proxy server caching the page:

customer A visits the site and requests a page with session specific
information. The proxy caches this page. Customer B visits the site and
requests the same page. The proxy returns customer A's version of the
page from its cache to customer B. If these instructions stop the proxy
from caching the page in the first place, then it will always request a
fresh page from your server.

Session management is not black magic, it's very well understood and CF
does it reasonably  well. If you have a situation where users seem to be
"sharing" sessions and all the users who experience this problem are
behind the same proxy or firewall, then occam's razor tells us that it
is more likely to be a misconfigured proxy than some deeply hidden bug
in CF. Try using the tags and calling the proxy administrator to flush
the cache on his side.
