Re: pgadmin4 exception: session['_id'] not in self.managers

I'm trying out pgadmin4 v2.0 for the first time.  It seems that after only a few minutes (maybe even less than five) my pgadmin4 session will get logged out and I'll need to log in again and reopen everything from scratch.  This exception is thrown in the mod_wsgi logs:

mod_wsgi (pid=5965): Exception occurred processing WSGI script '/home/pgadmin/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pgadmin4/pgAdmin4.wsgi'.

KeyError: '_id'

My setup:

pgadmin4 v2.0 .  The configuration is all defaults except for LOG_FILE/SQLITE_PATH/SESSION_DB_PATH/STORAGE_DIR.  That means MAX_SESSION_IDLE_TIME is at its default of 60 (minutes).

pgadmin4 is in server mode with mod_wsgi as a host.

PostgreSQL 9.4.14 - from the postgres apt repository.  No changes made to timeouts or anything in the postgresql.conf , it's all defaults.

Python 2.7

psycopg2 2.7.3.1

I can confirm that the apache process hosting pgadmin4 is running under the right UNIX user account and that it seems to have good access/permissions to its scratch files on disk.  I see updates being made to pgadmin4.db and the sessions directory.
