Ah. No, in that case, most likely what's happening is that sessions are never 
getting garbage collected because (I'm guessing here) no one else is accessing 
this installation of IMP? If that's so, you can increase the probability that 
old sessions will be collected by upping gc_probability in HordeSession in 
local.inc.
