I'm not aware of any code placing semantic meaning on the
SESSION_MANAGER variable.  libSM doesn't even look at the right hand
side of the / in the transport spec when the transport is "local", so
the different hostnames shouldn't matter.

That said, that change didn't actually fix the bug I put it in to try to
fix, so I should probably just back it out.
