codejoust/session.js — Issue #12: Pile-up of session cookies

I changed the default name for the location and session cookies to 'x909_location' and 'x909_session'.

What I'm seeing each time I return to my site with the same browser, is a buildup of cookies with the same name.

This only happens for the session cookie. The location cookie always has only a single instance.

But, for example, right now, I have 9 session cookies each named 'x909_session' and all but 2 of them were created today. Not sure if this is normal and expected behavior but I don't know if users will appreciate such a buildup of cookies from the same site.

(I'm testing this in Firefox 9.01 on Windows 7 using the Firecookie add-on for Firebug).
