Yeah, maybe the session lasted that long. I kept clicking and I saw
cookie change every few seconds, though.

My backend is, in fact, multi-process - I use Cluster
(https://github.com/LearnBoost/cluster), which spawns 4 workers, one per
CPU core. I'm discussing this with Express/Cluster developer and he just
mentioned the same thing. If that's the case - how would I fix that,
then?
