Hmm nope that should have worked. One thing I would encourage you to
do Tom, is to switch from using mysql for session storage, to using
memcached. You will get a nice speed increase and not have to worry
about purging the db table also.

If you are on 3.4.0 or later you should have this option available.

Back to your problem what is the rest of the session data is there a
bit that says lasttime: ?
