 * I just found more than 200.000 sess_* files in my /var/lib/php5 folder and the
   following message on the top of my blog:
 * Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/var/lib/php5/sess_7cad11067bb359c89ee47b9e692e47bf,
   O_RDWR) failed: No space left on device (28) in /www/wp-content/plugins/twitconnect/
   twitconnect.php on line 95
 * Session are created but not purge by the plugin ?

 * PHP runs garbage collection to clear sessions. There may be an issue with garbage
   collection on your server.
 * This page talks a little bit about PHP settings for garbage collection and how
   to test them.
