There is a PHP bug reported a few times on the php bug tracker that
reports that in some rare cases, the session cookie is not being deleted,
but replaced with the text 'deleted'.  When another computer gets the same
cookie, and they both attempt to start a session, they both end up seeing
the same session files, and various preferences and what not get
corrupted.  This is the only explanation I can think of that would result
in two sessions, on physically seperate machines, being corrupted.  Can
you check where PHP is saving your session files, and see if you have
sess_deleted files?
