Something is stranger: the session cookie named "fe_typo_user" is not 
always created. Meaning that the host / domain info is not the only 
problem I have. Sometimes the cookie is created (with wrong host) and 
sometimes it is not created at all (I see the "Welcome user X, you are 
not logged in...") but no fe_typo_user exists. I cannot understand in 
which circumstance it creates or not the cookie but for a few minutes it 
does not generate any new cookie.
