Instant DOS.

Note that current "maxActiveSessions" implementation also causes a DOS: if you 
can create many sessions, it will block new users.

I must look at the application unauthenticated sessions:
- if they are already big, there is already a DOS via OutOfMemory
- if there are small, they would need to be handled specifically, expiring them 
first

In any case, as you suggested, the application should not depend on such big 
sessions. That's the real solution to avoid any issues!
