[ic] session ID oddity

    While tailing the userlog today I noticed that IC assigned a user the
same session ID I was already assigned.  I was in the admin UI when this
occurred.  I was wondering what might cause this to occur.  I am using the
default flock on Debian linx with kernel 2.4.18 with perl 5.6.1 .

    The user and I continued to share session IDs for quite a few pages
until I happened to glance over and notice, at which point I closed all my
browser windows and relaunched one.  I was then assigned a new session ID.

    I just looked at my "sessions active in last 180 minutes" and I see that
there are three or four pairs of duplicated session IDs so I am wondering if
this even indicates a problem.

Thanks,
Jeff
