I don't think the hook was the problem.  The symptons are

1. The REQUEST.SESSION instance has a getSessionData() method only if the server 
has been restarted without a session_data_manager instance.

That is, if the server is working, then I restart it, then REQUEST.SESSION won't have a  
getSessionData() method. However if I delete /session_data_manager and restart, it 
then works again.

2. But worse, it seems that after about 20 minutes ( the default timeout for the storage 
object), the same problem appears. SESSION loses the getSessionData() method 
once the timeout specified in /temp_folder/session_data has expired.

My client was really upset, so I couldn't experiment any longer. My solution was to 
remove the 2.5 provided Session product and install CST 0.9. It's working now.

Naturally I'd still like to figure this out, how can I help diagnose this? I think it's the 
transient storage container..
