Almost correct. :-)

1. It looks like TextMate fails gracefully - no crash report. Just the session never gets updated.

2. When I open TM, it presents me with the dialog box asking to restore the Session or not. If I click on restore it always just opens up the 26th Oct session (which is nice) but not so useful. 

I finally gave in to dialog pressure :-) and clicked on the “Cancel” button when it asked me if I wanted to restore the previous session. So I’d start TM with a clean slate. After that I am able to save my sessions again. It did keep some unsaved files in the Session folder. Those remain undeleted (untitled.txt, untitled 2.php etc.) even though they longer open in TM on start up and are no longer on my tab list.

So, end result is Sessions are ok again now. I won’t be able to repeat the problem again so maybe I’ll take a look into the code if it happens again.
