 	We are already using the latest version (as of last night), but 
there is a parameter to enable sessions.  Yeah - I am not convinced it 
will fix anything, except the public cache thing, which would affect a 
small number of people very minimally - although it might have a dramatic 
effect on the big server people.  They seem to have drifted off the forums 
- never answered my questions.
