2 more turnarounds per session? Brilliant!

The theory behind this is sound: let's not saddle chunkd with caching
authentication results, which is ineffective anyway, but provide
a way for application to amortize the cost of authentication over
a number of requests explicitly. But in practice it means tabled
needs to keep inactive sessions open, which is a chunk of code for
me to write (and debug!). I guess I'll do it in a few months...

Having a default table? Naah, those lazy application programmers have
it too easy already!

Again, from the point of view of chunkd, this makes complete sense:
why carry an extra (default) table in cases when application does
in fact set its own tables, right?

You've got to be kidding me. How is tabled supposed to know that
the request it's making is "first"?! I guess I have to supply
CHF_TABLE_NEW to every call now, or else retry if InvalidTable
is returned, I haven't decided what workaround to apply yet.
