Not to sound arrogant, but since it's hard to delve deeper without much more
details, I'd just like to make sure the reason is not the most obvious one.
If you're clients are losing their sessions, are you sure its not just
because of their sessions timing out and hence the cookie-data or the actual
session data on the server being lost?

I've just seen many posts recently about sessions and their too-early
timeouts which are usually the result of misconfigured php settings and/or
too active garbage collection.

What are your session timeouts and the cookie timeouts?
