Thanks for the response Chris.  It's nice to know that it's not a bug, or at 
least it is a documented bug.  It's just unfortunate that it works most of 
the time such as during development.  I don't like gremlins.  Ah well, 
perhaps others in the list can learn from my experience.

In short to close the thread, any mutation to an item in a SESSION object must 
be stored with a call to set.  Otherwise the code will fail intermittently.
