I think this would hapen outside the localhost environment (i.e. if the site was hosted on a remote server), the problem is that all the browser windows are open on one PC and share the same session-id cookie.
If you are using IE as your browser, then whenever you file->new->window (same as Ctrl-N) you will open a new window that shares the same session as the old window. The work around in IE to run each session separately is to start each window by double-clicking the desktop icon or running "iexplore" using start->run.
