If this only occurs with logged-in users, then it is a session issue of 
some sort.

* Check that sessions are configured correctly (if need be, they can be 
changed in LocalSettings.php before the initialization of the session)
* Check that cookies are configured correctly (if you remain logged in 
no matter the amount of browsing you do on the site, they probably are)

Look up ini_get() and ini_set() in the PHP documentation. If this is a 
server farm (several seperate web servers), make sure that the sessions 
are stored in a directory accessable by all servers (ie, a share).
