Session ID not sticking in Safari

[eluser]funkmyer[/eluser]
Hi all,

So i am watching my cookies in Safari's prefs pane (Security>Show Cookies). I have the session library autoloading from the main config file. Every page I hit, the ci_session cookie gets a new string instead of keeping the same session_id to be used over and over again until it expires and a new one is generated. Is it fair to assume that Safari is not "seeing" the existing cookie and thus creating a new one each page load? Has anyone run into this problem ? Everything works perfectly in Mozilla/FF.

Notable: I am creating and checking the sessions via AJAX calls.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
