A "few" old session files never deleted?

Hello.

I have session files stored in a special tmp directory specific to a
virtual host instance. The Max_lifetime is long 86400 (1 day) which I
don't suppose is the problem.

Anyway the sessions do indeed expire and "most" of the old session
files disappear as expected.

Not all however. I am finding several old session files with Unix
last mod times weeks in the past.

This behavior observed on PHP 4.2 and 4.3.

Any clues.
