We've been experiencing some troublesome errors with our Witango Applications 
lately.  Most of them are along the lines
of users seeing other users found sets and submitting records with the 
incorrect user information.

Our setup is:
- Witango 5.0.1 server on an OS X 10.3.9 box
- FilemakerPro 5.5 server on an OS X 10.4.1 box

When a user logs into any of our Witango apps our Login.taf is called which 
queries a Filemaker file containing all our
usernames and passwords.  Once the correct username and password is found 
Login.taf creates an array containing the
user's login information along with other information about the user such as 
their school number and access level (e.g.
school, technician, admin).  Login.taf then branches back to the application 
that called it.

Each link in our tafs contain the <@userReferenceAgrument> and most searches 
and submits are preform with their school
number automatically filled in for them.

Despite this we continue to receive calls every once in a while about a user 
logging in as one school but them
submitting their record as if they were at another school.  Upon talking to the 
other school we find out that both
schools were submitting records at nearly the exact same time.  There have also 
been times, and I've seen this myself,
where one user will end up with the found set of another user, but when going 
back to the home page are still logged in
with the correct school number and can continue on normally.

We are completely stumped with this problem.  It's not a consistent problem 
which makes trouble shooting difficult. 
We're not even sure if this is a Witango issue or a problem FilemakerPro.  One 
time during a demonstration of our
FilemakerPro interface, with 20 users all logged in a the same time, users 
started seeing the found sets of other
users.  A month later, however, with the same scenario, no problems were 
encountered.  The same custom login system is
used for the Filemaker interface minus the Login.taf.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Thanks in advance,
Matthew.
