Session unexpectedly dropped between pages in IE

Hello everyone,
I've come across an extremely unusual bug that my team has literally
no idea how to solve. Doing some research, I found some similar
solutions that I thought would work, but alas did not.

Here is my situation, let me know if I can provide additional insight
to help solve the problem.

The first step is that someone chooses a country via a flash map.
Flash passes this region name (as well as a date) through the URL,
which we then convert to a session. The next page contains no Flash
and doesn't display the selected region, but it does hold on to it for
further down the process.

Everything works perfectly in Safari and Firefox; however, in IE
sometimes unexpected results occur. Frequently (but not always), the
session is dropped completely and no sessions are stored between the
first and 2nd pages.

Here are the steps that I have taken thus far, unsuccessfully:
1. Changed Security from Medium -> Low
2. Changed CheckUserAgent from True -> False
3. Changed storing of sessions from PHP -> Database

Some additional information that may be useful:
I have tried printing out the session data in Debug (debug($_SESSION)
on my view file and debug set to 2 in config). In Internet Explorer
everything prints out as expected EXCEPT when the region and date
don't get set.

For example:
If the region and date don't get set NOTHING is printed out for debug.
I don't get the session details at the top, and I don't get the normal
dump of calls at the bottom of the page either.

Please let me know if you have ANY idea of what is causing this or any
solutions. I am beyond frustrated and have tried as much as I can to
solve this.

Thanks!
