Dunno, because that update was months ago.  Robert's comments make the
situation even odder, though, because I have *always* seen the
commitfest app want me to log back in anytime I hadn't used it recently.
I assumed that was policy.  I only complained because the timeout seemed
to have dropped to an irrationally short value during this fest.

Anyway, maybe setting a normal expires date will make it work better.
