Only by killing and re-starting the muscled process, or by hacking the muscle
souce code to cause it to be reset. The reason the counter is never reset is
so that there will never be any re-use of old session IDs, and thus no
confusion about which session a given session ID refers to.

The first session to get added to muscled should always be assigned ID zero.

I don't understand how that could be... once the server process has exited, all
server state is destroyed (i.e. the server never saves any data to the disk, so
there is no way it could remember the counter value).
If session IDs are a problem for you, however, you might consider "tagging"
your session with a unique database node that would help identify it, rather
than using the session ID as a unique identifier. For example, your
zeroth-client could upload a database node named "myspecialsession" in the
database using PR=5FCOMMAND=5FSETDATA (or the server could set it by calling
SetDataNode() from within the session class's AttachedToServer() method), and
then the other sessions could specify this session by adding a
PR=5FNAME=5FKEYS=3D"/*/*/myspecialsession" String field to the Messages they
send.
Let me know if that helps,
Jeremy
