if you try to delete a dbm mapping entry by passing in a key that is None, you raise a TypeError. This seems to be harmless, but currently this exception is not trapped in session.py. i ran into this when i had configured my browser to reject cookies and then clicked the logout link on the session demo. note that with your browser rejecting cookies, if you sit on the demo login screen and click refresh, the session list grows and grows.
