[imp] Session stays open many hours(!?)

Sessions are controlled by phplib in IMP 2.2. You can set the lifetime of the 
session (in local.inc), but after that, it's a matter of whether or not the 
session is garbage collected (gc_probability). If this is a test system without 
many people using it, the probability that sessions will be garbage collected 
is rather low.

That's still there? Doh. That's been deprecated since we switched to phplib in 
2.2.

Yes.
