It turns out she did have another browser window open. I witnessed the issue
on her machine, but I haven't been able to replicate it on my own. I've
tried visiting the website, logging in, opening another browser window, then
closing either the new or the old window (I've tried both ways), reopening
the browser, and going back to the site -- but it always sends me back to
the login page (which is what I want the site to do, but I'm concerned about
issues that I can't replicate.)

If anyone cares to check it out (and feel under no obligation to -- it's not
a big issue for anyone except me, who wants to figure this out) you can
visit the site at www.foodhandler.org and login with username
[EMAIL PROTECTED] password guest.

Thanks again for your responses -- you're wonderful people!
