If they expire sessions in order to avoid losing memory over users leaving without ever calling the closure, their timer seems short for what it gains.

The link name "fnid=" is a pretty strong giveaway as to what is underneath.

Yes, I find it too short and the end result is annoying but passable for the audience here. Non-technical users wouldn't be so understanding I suspect.

How are hash keys deleted? Age? Or are just the last N generated ones kept?
