Why would that end up creating two different session IDs attached
to the same page?  I can't see how that could happen.  I know that
extra 'Catalog' aliases will create extra cookies, but I'm sure that
all session ID cookies will be served with the same value.

I still think that the browser's cookie storage/retrieval functionality
is broken and that it's returning some sort of old persistent cookie
along with the current session cookie.
