The problem is a bit difficult to spot.  If you run ngrep you will see
it though.

It looks like you have some <al-img> tags somewhere (haven't looked at
the source yet) because I can see requests like this:

        GET http://mathxy.com/cgi-bin/test/mgr.py/spacer.gif

This is followed by a traceback response which you do not see because
the browser thinks it should be getting an image.

After the traceback Albatross deletes the session, so you get dropped
back to a session expired state.
