Sounds reasonable.  That's less of a concern - I was more trying to  
determine if it was part of the same problem I was having or not.

Speaking of which... I *just* got booted off.  I had kept the browser  
open almost 24 hours and was watching it as new mail would come in (i  
had turned off the notification on that account).  The versions of  
horde and imp that this particular machine is connected to are the  
absolute latest stable releases.  I would have expected that with 6Gb  
of memcached and the latest & greatest software versions I wouldn't  
see any more session booting.  but alas, there it is again.

I suspect this will be a very minor issue as most of our users, I  
believe, don't leave their sessions active for so long.  However it's  
still a bit troubling that it's happening at all.
