[Seaside] 2.3.2 ==> 2.5a: Session

[Julian Fitzell]

It's just that the session is obtained from the dynamic scope... the 
debugger messes with this.  It's the same reason you can't get the 
current OmniBase transaction or similar in the debugger.

I've never been quite clear if this is a bug or an unavoidable issue 
with the debugger, though...
