[rt-users] RT 3.8.10 and users

It's an upgrade of RT. More specifically it's an RT 3.4.5 DB I copied to
a clean MySQL 5 host and did the upgrade process to arrive at 3.8.10

Right now it looks like fastCGI is the problem. We only have six or so
people logged in at the moment but testing it on my box with curl used
to consistently replicate the problem with RT giving us an RT_SID_
cookie and now I cannot reproduce it.

I will let you know tomorrow when the load gets cranked up if you're
interested in chasing this.
