I noticed that in the database the session id's recently reached something 
like 68000, which is markedly close to 65536. Is it possible we reached 
the limit of a datatype somewhere? I asked our DB2 people and they said 
the datatype in the database is much larger than that. If there is no 
datatype limitation in cvs, there could still be some sort of limitation 
in the ODBC connection, I guess. Any ideas?

Maybe this should be moved to the dev mailing list?
