+ Invalidation handling of sessions could cause the
+ time_stamp field in the session record to be set to
+ undefined crashing the session clean up process. This did
+ not affect the connections but would result in that the
+ session table would grow.</p>

+ Changed code to use ets:foldl and throw instead of
+ ets:next traversal, avoiding the need to explicitly call
+ ets:safe_fixtable. It was possible to get a badarg-crash
+ under special circumstances.</p>
