I'll try and find some time to look at it.  There's other issues --
I've had a few problems with the session code over time, and discussed
often with nothingmuch and posted a few orphaned patches.

Two I just came across in the last week are it throwing an exception on
invalid session id (instead of just ignoring like a missing one), and
the "cookie_secure" feature that indeed sets the cookie as "secure"
but doesn't prevent it from being sent in a non-SSL session back to
the client, kind of defeating the purpose.
