Hi Hugh.

Would it be feasable to add locking to SessDBM such that we have
multiple readers and one writer to the DBM file? The session
database doesn't need any relational features, and the related bloat and
bugs. Look at what it takes just to set up a reliable database connection.

we need connect-log-disconnect behavior instead of the current

We have a few realms like m_devn and devn. So they're prefixes, not suffixes

something @m_devn?, then handle with later?
