What about getenv('PHP_SELF');  or print_r($_SERVER); or var_dump($_SERVER); 
any sign of PHP_SELF?

Perhaps a variables_order issue?

The referer should be set; that is if the browser sent it previously.  I'm on
shakey ground here with IIS, but perhaps an upgrade of PHP (especially
concerning IIS, as I think there's been a lot of improvements in the
multithreaded environments).  A check that IIS isn't configured strangely,
too?
