AW: [Catalyst] Session problems with IE and cookies

Today I had that issue. I couldn't login on my site even though I've tried 
for more times with 2 different user names.
I have also tried closing and opening again the browser, but I still wasn't 
able to login.

So I wanted to read the HTTP headers sent and received by IE before trying 
to delete the cookies.
For doing that, I needed to click with the mouse cursor in the text area at 
the bottom of the browser window where IE Headers plug in shows the headers 
(for beeing able to read it with the screen reader).

After clicking there, the system started to work very slow, so I opened the 
task manager in order to see what consumes that much, and I have seen that 
the browser was using 99% of the processor.
I've killed that huge process, and after opening again IE, I was able to 
login fine, with no other problems and no need to delete the cookies.

So I think this bug is definitely related to IE or Windows and not with 
mod_perl, Apache or Catalyst.

We have this problem since we started using Apache::Session + Apache::Cookie
about 5 years ago. Never had the time to actually look into it. It happens
only infrequently but often enough to have it included in our site FAQs. 
Said
application is running under Apache 1.3.x + mod_perl + Mason + MySQL - no
Catalyst involved!
