Sessions failing...

Hello-

I am having a problem with sessions that likely has nothing to do with the 
code and everything to do with Tomcat configuration, I hope.  Here are the 
details.  Any insight or help in the matter is greatly appreciated.

-A session is created in one servlet and objects are stored using 
setAttribute()
-This servlet calls another servlet on the same machine in the same context. 
  This new servlet accesses the session using req.getSession() and the 
stored objects using getAttribute()
-All the objects are null and worthless in the second servlet
-session.isNew() returns true and cookies are on in the browser
-isRequestedSessionIdFromCookie() and isRequestedSessionIdFromURL() are both 
false
-isRequestedSessionIdValid() is true
-The exact same code works fine on 8 out of 9 machines, but not on the one 
in question.  And this code did work at one time on this particular machine.

Any ideas?  Sessions have failed me in a similar matter before.  Thanks for 
your help and comments.
