After some digging, this is a bug in QLockFile.  It doesn't take process
name into account.  So if the pid for the session.json lockfile is re-
used (easy to do after a reboot), it will act like the session file is
still valid.

Qt trunk fixes this
(http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/src/corelib/io/qlockfile_unix.cpp?h=dev).
So it's just a matter of updating Qt (or backporting the patch).

** Summary changed:

- Isn't remembering old session tabs
+ QLockFile won't notice if the lock pid is re-used by an unrelated process

** Also affects: qtbase-opensource-src (Ubuntu)
