We had a similar problem with viewstate starting with Safari v 5.1.4.
While I have seen errors in my log that make me believe I'm facing the same issue as you, I have not yet been able to reproduce the error in a sample application. My guess is that the viewstate information from the timed-out page is being submitted to the login page, which is invalid. To correct this, it may be possible to put something early in the login page life cycle (maybe Page_Init) that would recognize when a redirect to the login page is happening (perhaps through the referer) and circumvent the viewstate validation.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
