As ususal, or at least as so often happens, right after I am totally
frustrated and post to the group, a lightbulb goes on and I solve the
problem.

Why did this happen]? Because I had a check if $_POST['currentID'] was set
and if not, then I would clear all the OTHER session variables. Pilot
error. All I had to do was think about how the currentID could be treated
differently than the others.

Thanks anyway.
