Hmmm... this sounds very bad :/

On the other hand, I haven't run into this problem yet :)

In any case, what platform are you running (OS, JVM, etc)? Could you 
send a bug report with all those informations?

http://localhost:10080/bug/

Here is how it goes under, er, "normal conditions": when a user is 
created, it get assign a unique identifier (that infamous long hex 
number). This identifier is used to retrieve the user data (mails, 
indices, objects, etc). A user is only created once. The user name is 
based on your OS user name as reflected by the Java 'user.name' 
property. If the name remain constant, its identifier remain the same 
as well. In other words, a new identifier is created for every distinct 
user name. Could it be that you are running the app under different OS 
accounts?

Cheers,

R.
