[Gmod-help] Session locks overwritten with mod_perl and fcgi

(Now that I've recovered the browser installation, I'll post my  
original question)

When I use either ModPerl or Fast-CGI in Gbrowse2 (1.996), track  
loading and refresh are both nicely accelerated.  However, in either  
of these modes, it seems like the session locks get overwritten,  
rather than created, when a new user accesses the browser (the  
landmarks, tracks, etc. are lost for the first user).  The default  
installation (localhost/cgi-bin/gb2/) appears to be locking sessions  
normally.

Realizing that GBrowse 2 is pre-release, I'd love to hear if anyone  
has any easy suggestions (or perhaps this is a bug).

I'm running this on Ubuntu 9.04 (webserver: Apache/2.2.11 (Ubuntu) PHP/ 
5.2.6-3ubuntu4.1 with Suhosin-Patch mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0 Server).

Here is my GBrowse.conf session settings stanza:
# session settings
session driver = driver:file;serializer:default
session args   = Directory /var/tmp/gbrowse2/sessions


/var/tmp/gbrowse2/sessions and /var/tmp/gbrowse2/locks are both  
writable to the server, and indeed written to when any new session is  
started (except in the mod_perl or fcgi cases, when relevant session/ 
lock files are overwritten).


Thanks,
joe
