Problem summary

• When a SessionTimesout we try to flush the SessionCache, and
  cast the User object to a String rather than User
  When a SessionTimesout we try to flush the SessionCache, and
  cast the User object to a String rather than User.  This result
  in a ClassCastException at the end of cleanup processing.  This
  issue was introduced with PK70149.
  

Problem conclusion

• In porting the original fix for PK70149 from 6.1 to 6013 there
  was a change in how WCM stores the User information in the
  session.  In 6.0.1.x the User object in stored, in 6.1 a String
  is stored, so we end up casting to the wrong type of object.
  
  A fix for this problem is available for WCM 6.0.1.3 from Fix
