[Sysadmin] evolt

[David Kaufman]

Site's back up now, and mighty snappy, now the 5,108,226 row session 
table's been truncated.

Seems we'd been being bitten by this bug:
https://techcommons.stanford.edu/topics/drupal/sessions-table-cleanup

And so drupal was never expiring sessions form the db.

I added:

   ini_set('session.gc_probability', 1);

to setings.php and its all much goodlier now.
