I haven't followed the original thread, so I apologize if I repeat 
somebody else here.

But from your description I'd suggest the following: You have to narrow 
the problem down after you are able to reproduce the problem at will. 
That means that you should use try to emulate multiply requests, for 
example with ab. See:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/performance.html#Benchmarking_Applications

If you are able to do that and you know that the problem is on the 
server side and not caused by the clients who mess up with hidden fields 
or form elements.

Next try to figure out who's causing the problem (assuming that it's a 
server side prob). e.g. this section uses three different ways to 
extract params:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/performance.html#Apache__args_vs__Apache__Request__param_vs__CGI__param

Do you get the problem with all of them?

Hope this helps.
