The session timeout is 120 minutes.  I am using an external
SessionDataComainter stored in the normal undo-able ZODB (I'm not
expecting that much traffic to it).

Looking into it further I don't think it is a CST fault :)  I think I have
fixed the problem.  It was me not setting _p_changed on an object with a
dict after adding items to the dict.  Hence the session wasn't being lost,
just the conents of the cart itself were not very persistent :)

I'll be able to confirm this later today.

I can't find anything about acquisition-wrapped objects in the helpfile,
what is the problem with them?
