We found horde to be *extremely* sensitive to external elements such as SSL
and code caches. In our situation we had both. 

Removing SSL from the situation partially resolved the situation, but left
other parts disabled/non-functional. Then we removed the "PECL" code cache
things started to work.

Today we have SSL working again (after carefully reviewing my
configuration), but IE still craps out on occasion and the session fails.

Keep in mind that when this happens you will likely never see an error in
your logs... that includes apache, php, and horde. In close investigation
you may find that reading the form/cookie data on a random page fails cause
the data simply disappeared. Without warning it will exit the page rendering
or move on and fail later.

So the weakness is that Horde does not appear to have enough defensive code
around form/cookie data. The outcome is undetected failures. The cause
appears to be external corruption from code caches and encryption protocols.
