Session being dropped.

For one that config is for PyroCMS and you should be asking them, 3.0-dev has a different sessions table and session handler and that is not the session config for 3.0-dev.

Right, they didn't wait for CI 3.0 official, and bundled a dev version that's never been released on it's own.

Now I've read a lot of posts about earlier versions of CI dropping sessions and it seems the issue was fixed in the real 3.0.  I'm just wondering if anyone can help me patch this weird dev version, or even just tell me how I could recreate the issue locally so I can figure out something myself.  I've never been able to observe it directly myself.
