Validation of viewstate MAC failed - only on windows CE device

This is odd behavior. In my aspnet 2.0 app (basic app, nothing out of the
ordinary here), if I am using my iPAQ handheld device and I hit the refresh
button on my page, I get an error "Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If
this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that
<machineKey> configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation
algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster."

The interesting thing is I can not reproduce this using IE or Opera on my
desktop. The user agent reported by my iPAQ browser is "Mozilla/4.0
(compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows CE; PPC; 240x320)"

I also tried adding the following machineKey to my macine.config file, which
didn't help:

<machineKey
validationKey="9CCEC30E6D1695636BC548918FC190EAC06714B6B44CCA2168B7DB439EC6684025E84514A8298545E74B015E22B69B1C3DD845F237BE470FC5650182F46B9111"
decryptionKey="126EA9F8AD6016492548AA59BAEB5D8012B947145126A19A"
validation="SHA1"/>

Any ideas?
