Developers of Sympa

[Adam Bernstein <address@concealed>]

Hi Sympa team.  We're almost done with the Sympa 5.3.4 -> 6.1b4 upgrade on 
our development server, but have now run into a bug that brings our whole 
upgrade plan to a total stop -- we cannot run the new Sympa until it's 
fixed.  I see it already listed in your bug database (#6979), with no 
progress since it was reported, so I'm a little concerned.  What can we do 
to help get it fixed?

Our Apache server is restarted every night for log rotation, which means 
that the first (or actually, second) person to login every day is going to 
be terribly confused when someone else's session pops up in their browser. 
 The security implications are also serious.

For what it's worth, I have not yet been able to deliberately reproduce the 
bug with any amount of logging in and out, deleting cookies, restarting 
Apache, or deleting rows from the session_table.  And yet, it happens 
reliably every day, after the automated Apache restart around midnight.  So 
I'm not sure what the exact trigger conditions are.

Our environment is:
    FreeBSD 8.0
    Apache 2.2.15
    Perl 5.10.1
    Sympa 6.1b4

Looking forward to working with you on this.

    thanks,
      adam
