I agree, this could be a problem if one session is accessed by multiple requests, and this is not a completely unlikely scenario (although I have not been bitten by this). Do you have a patch?

I don't think this needs a patch. There's a lock for the case that Hunchentoot accesses the global session database. If you (as a user) write an application where different handlers or different threads work on the same session object at the same time, then you know what you're doing and you should take care of locking (if needed) yourself. IMNSHO it is a bad decision to defensively wrap locks around everything that could in theory be accessed simultaneously.
