Is the garbage collection triggered with local values or global values? I
though I remembered reading somewhere that if you implemented your own
save_path by any means, you had to also implement your own garbage
collection. I can't find where it says that anywhere now, so maybe it's
changed (or never existed).
I would imagine it'd have to be triggered with global values for security
reasons. Otherwise I could change the lifetime to 1 second and generate a
bunch of traffic to my site and delete everyones session files after 1
second of inactivity.
