Very good point on the default.  As far as what the user does with
their browser, I'm just trying to make my end as forgiving as
possible.  If 3-day old sessions start bogging down the system I'll
have to cut back on that though.  Good thing I started using RobotUA.

Linked from that page is this:

http://www.interchange.rtfm.info/icdocs/config/SessionType.html

which has more info on File vs. DBI sessions in case anyone else is
interested.  It doesn't go into detail on Berkeley or GDBM sessions,
but I'll assume File is still preferred.
