We have been plagued by this problem for several years.  We have only
seen problems when a client machine has IE at level 5.0.  We ended up
including a "phantom killer" to our healthcheck that cancels any "?"
sessions it finds when it runs.

I have seen them left behind when a user doesn't log out and just closes
the window also.

Thanks,

Running TSM server on AIX ... AIX is at 4.3.3 maintenance level 10, TSM
server is a 5.1.5.2.  Anybody seen 'phantom' sessions left behind by
using a webrowser that seem to use plenty of cycles on the server?  Is
is just me or are others seeing this?
