Right because a clean shutdown saves all current sessions.  If you turn off 
persistent sessions while debugging (recommended) you'll be better off.  I 
think what's happening are weird Classloader issues, probably dealing with 
the static member variables.

I'm really working on an architecture (sure been saying this long enough!) 
that will help with the static variables and classloading, because I'd like 
to see Expresso reloading capable.
