sharing session data across multiple applications

Thanks. I'm still logged in in a new browser window, and no new session data is entered into the db.

Here's what I get after I login to the control panel: http://cl.ly/nyT
And on the default application: http://cl.ly/soA

Looks like it's trying to select session data, and there is indeed a record with that exact information. Is the data not being split correctly or something? The user data begins with something like this - a:6:{s:5:"email";s:19:"[email protected]";s:12:" - not sure what the technical term is for that, but is CI supposed to automatically set up the variables and stuff from that data?
