[dev] session handler hostspec

[Martin Fraser]

Seems like something went wrong with the session handlers.

I'm using a MySQL session handler and have been for ages. I did a fresh 
install in a new location and when I setup MySQL session handlers I get 
the same things happening. Went back to default (file based?) session 
handlers on my main site and it is back up and running. If I work out 
what is going on I'll post it here, again, if anyone has any clues to 
help me here I'd appreciate getting things back to the way they worked 
before.
