Session lost after showModalDialog or showModelessDialog

Have been working on this one for weeks, and pulling my hair out.

We have three basic aspx or asp pages (happens with both).
All three forms write out the session id the browser window and that the
only vb code in all three files.

Form1 writes out the session id and has a html button which opens Form 2 in
Modal Dialog using either showModalDialog or showModelessDialog

Form2 writes out the session id and has a html button which opens Form 3
using a window.open

Form3 writes out the sesion id

1. Close all browser windows, and start by opening one IE window and
navigating to anywhere.
2. Create another new browser window and open Form 1
3. Click the html button to open Form2 in a modal dialog window the session
ids are the same.
4. Click the html button on form2 to open form3 and the session id is lost
in form3 and a new session created

If we close the first browse window we created, the one we navigated to
anywhere in, and repeat steps 3 and 4, the sesssions are the same across all
three pages?

If we change the javascript function on Form1 to use window.open instead,
the session is retained across all three pages.

Have tried this across three different servers, many different clients and
it continues to happen.

Is this a bug, am I doing somthing I can't, or is this just another one of
the weird things in life we will never get the bottom of.

Hope someone can shed some light on this.

IE Version: 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519
but also happens on many other version I have tried.
