we use the session to pass a few "objects" from one part of the code base to some other parts. Specifically in the context of a cron job the current userID / contactID is passed via the session

Most likely your activity records were created without a "source_contact_id" field. If you had enabled the "strict" settings in mysql it would have given u a fatal error

Quick update on this topic in case anyone stumbles across it.

I'm a hotdrupal user (see above posts).  After contacting hot drupal the proprietor was able to fix the problem.  It did not require any code or other file changes.

Apparently on new installations they have now modified the default session handling on their server to avoid this and similar problems.  Most likely I was on a server where this change had not be made.

Anyway, if any hotdrupal folks have this problem just post a support ticket and you'll be all set.
