Bug in spp_session.c/initSessionCache? (assigning value to cleanup_sessions)

In initSessionCache, we have the following block of code:

            if( cleanup_sessions < ( 2 * max_sessions ) )
                sessionCache->cleanup_sessions = cleanup_sessions;
            else
                sessionCache->cleanup_sessions = ( max_sessions / 2 );
            if( sessionCache->cleanup_sessions == 0 )
                sessionCache->cleanup_sessions = 1;

Going by the contents of the else block, the low default value of
cleanup_sessions, and the fact that this allows cleanup_sessions to exceed
max_sessions... this looks like it should begin:

            if( (2 * cleanup_sessions) <= max_sessions)

James.
