I have no experience with CVS, therefore am completely unqualified to
comment.  So here goes...

The recent 2.2.0 release doesn't appear to have any "session.*" files. 
Presumably, then, this is something new in CVS, not in 2.2.0 ? 

Anything in the source code relatd to "utmp" should be enclosed inside:
   #ifdef WITH_UTMP
   ...
   #endif

In 2.0.7 and 2.2.0, this was only the files "param/loadparm.c" and
"smbd/connection.c".

This is driven by the "--with-utmp" experimental option.  Although you
don't have that, it should be not matter at all, because it _ought_ to be
hermetically sealed with those "#ifdef" statements. 

I seem to recall a few days ago someone mentioning a PAM-related patch
modelled on the utmp-code (and I see you have "--with-pam".)  I wonder
whether this is related?

Hope the above helps.  You are dabbling in CVS, so you are choosing to opt
in to DIY-debugging!  Peek inside this new session.c file, look for "utmp" 
references and check they have "#ifdef WITH_UTMP" guarding.
