The viewstate is invalid for this page and might be corrupted.

[.NET Developer]

On our external customer facing website recently we included a global error
catching routine and forward the error message to our support team via
email. We notice many emails with the following message. Internally or when
we test the site from home we never receive this error. What could be
causing this error? How to over come this issue? Our environment is WIN 2K,
..NET 1.1, ASP.NET, VS.NET 2003.

Thanks in advance.
