These are "top level" session variables?
I.e. something you defined with "SESSION.set(myvar, some_value)"?
And not variables inside "some_value"?


One can easily believe that all variables disappear.
That happens for example when the session times out.

But it is very difficult to believe that individual
session variables should disappear as all of them
are treated in the same way: all or none should disappear...


We might have an invalidation bug (although it is unlikely,
as it should hit all storages and not only sessions) which
might cause some connections to see an older state.
In this case, the variable you loose should be your newest
variables.
