Turned out to be an old CGI version! After banging my head for weeks and
months, turns out the fix was: "cpan -i CGI" Thought I'd update the thread
for anyone else who encounters it.
This has been a vanilla CGI app for years, and the very intermittent,
occasional, leaking sessions started after a move to fastcgi 6 months ago.
Found this in the change logs for CGI that mentions the fix:
Version 3.44, Jul 30, 2009
...
3. Fixed issue in mod_perl & fastCGI environment of cookies returned from
CGI->cookie() leaking from one session to another.
I was using 3.42
$ perl -MCGI -e "print \$CGI::VERSION;"
3.15
