> Tomcat sets a session's isNew field to false as part of Request.recyle() processing, which occurs *after* the session has replicated.  The effect of this is the replicated session has the wrong value.  If the second request for the session goes to another node, a call to isNew() will be inaccurate.
> If there was more than one request on the 1st node, there is no problem.  Any subsequent request on the 2nd node will also return the correct value.
> Simple fix is to set isNew to false whenever a session is deserialized.  For 5.0 we can just skip serializing this field and set it to false in readObject; for binary compatibility must serialize it in 4.0.x.
