That sounds like a problem with the way you handle sessions.
What happens is your program tries to start a session, but the page isn't
sent if a session isn't started. It still shouldn't reply with a 404
though...search your script for header and see if you send any.
Once someone has the session, then the page will load correctly.
Muck through your php code and see if there are any conditions or loops
which require a session to be running.
Still, that shouldn't happen and it's probably one of those bugs that you
can't figure out why they happen, or what causes them, but after tinkering
around suddenly everything works.
One thing to try, if it's available, is use the ob_* functions as a
debugger. Stick an obstart at the begining and a ob_end_flush at the end,
and see if the problem disappears magically.
Odd what sometimes fixes things...
