That’s a good guess, and is indeed giving us grief on a completely separate
project we’re working on. 
After some digging around, I’m thinking the culprit here is a full hard
drive. I’ve sent email to the guy who runs the box to see what he can do.
I’ve deleted about 15K of old junk I had forgotten about on that machine,
which seems to have helped. But 15K isn’t much headroom, so if that really
was the problem, it’ll probably come back unless the other guy can find a
lot more stuff to delete, or a new bigger hard drive.

I’ve seen this type of problem when a “transparent” load balancing
system was installed and didn’t have “sticky” set.
What would happen is that the IP address would change between requests.

Followup: I’m almost positive the full disk drive was the problem. Now
that the percent full has been reduced from 100 to 68, RT is humming right
along.
