<cflock scope="session" timeout="10">
    <cfset myURLToken = session.URLToken />
</cflock>

<cfoutput><cflock scope="session" timeout="10">
    <input type="hidden" name="CFID" value="#session.CFID#" />
    <input type="hidden" name="cftoken" value="#session.cftoken#" />
</cflock></cfoutput>

Now, drop the locks. You don't need them in CF8, at least, not as they're applied here. Do instead


    <cfset myURLToken = session.URLToken />


   <cfoutput> <input type="hidden" name="CFID" value="#session.CFID#" />
    <input type="hidden" name="cftoken" value="#session.cftoken#" /></cfoutput>

Navigate to the page Server Settings => Memory Variablesin the Coldfusion Administrator. Uncheck the option and check the options Enable Application Variables and Enable Session Variables. Click the button to submit the changes.

I've seen this happen when you do a StructClear(Session). If that's

not it then we need more info: does it happen with a simple

Application.cfm file, what does your cfapplication tag look like, etc.

my cfapplication tag looks like this

<cfapplication name="project"
               sessionmanagement="Yes"
               setclientcookies="Yes"
               applicationtimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,0)#">

That's a rather low application timeout you've got there.  Do you mean to be setting it to zero?

(I can't see how this would impact your sessions, having said that)
