conversation 5" from a bookmark with a reasonably short session timeout.

I have two use cases where this can happen:
1) A user bookmarks a page with the cid=2. They come back to your site later without using
the bookmark, and while using it decide that they want to access the bookmarked page, but
as cid=2 is already in use they will be redirected somewhere unexpected.
2) A user has mutliple windows open and then leaves your site until session timeout, when
they come back they log in in one of the windows and continue working. They then try and
use one of their pre-existing windows, and get redirected to an unexpected place because
the cid was re-used while they continued to work.
2 is the reason why I wanted this, I know it is not a biggie, but it is confusing to the
user, and whenever my users are confused the first thing they do is ring me, especially as
my app encorages the use of multile windows (actually iframes, but the same principle
applies). It seems to work ok, I have not noticed anything broken.
