something else I've noticed....If a user adds a comment to an image in
Ansel, the CAPTCHA is successfully validated.  If the user then goes to
Jonah, and tries to add a comment, the CAPTCHA check still fails, but it
fails because it is being compared to the *same* CAPTCHA string that was
used in the successful Ansel comment.  No matter how many times the
CAPTCHA check fails in Jonah, it is *always* compared to the same CAPTCHA
string until the browser is closed and reopened.  This is VERY strange,
because I have traced through the Agora::getCAPTCHA call and see that it
is indeed generating a new CAPTCHA, after it fails the check, but it is
not being saved in the session for some reason.

ANY ideas here? I'm at a loss.
