I said that without doing a control experiment: we tested "DCE High" but
didn't do the corresponding test for the normal setting. It turns out
that the problems my client has with sessions sticking around occurs
regardless of whether the port is set for DCE or DCE High. So my clients'
problem is clearly unrelated to this setting. We're still trying to
figure out the cause.

Sorry for any confusion.
