What architecture is this?  I only see the problems on a 32 bit x86
system.  I don't see them on a 64 bit x86 in spite of trying to trigger
them there (in a sample size of 1 of each, so it's not statistically
significant ... yet).

I also see that /run/systemd/sessions has about a hundred or so sessions
whose leaders are dead on the 32 bit system.  On the 64 bit system it
appears only still living sessions are in here.

The final curious observation is that on the 32 bit system, the session
id never seems to go over 4k.  On the 64 bit system, it does.
