I know it's bad form to reply to myself, but... I 'm going to show bad
form and do it anyway.

Well, I was right.  The session files look the the output of
Data::Dumper, so its obviously not using Storable.  Storable sessions
looked more like "garbage" than a Dumper output...  I still haven't been
able to figure out *why* Storable isn't being used.  Other than the
_session_storable file and uncommenting that one line in
/bin/interchange, does anyone know what else could cause Storable not to
be used?

Storable 2.09, Perl 5.8.3, RHEL 3 (WS)
