Yes. Version 1.56 includes (among other things) an update to the 'base' 
package with a script 'cleanup_sessions.pl' which will delete old/stale 
sessions from the database. If you don't want to upgrade you can just 
grab the script from CVS and use it -- there aren't any other dependencies.

Sorry about the troubles it caused. It was definitely a deficiency 
before. OI will also create sessions more readily than it used to (even 
if people don't login) since we cache theme and other objects there.
