I reported an issue with Norton's antivirus software a couple years
ago with large ViewState getting dropped, truncated, and even FREEZING
the firewall built into NAV.  I opened a case, and I've never seen a
fix issued, so that might be what's biting you.

That said, you should use server-side ViewState storage AND cut down
on the amount of ViewState you are using. That's pretty darn huge.  I
reject pages that have much over 1K...
