Is there any solution to the “Marshal data too short” in pstore?  
I tried the “a+b” solution, but didn’t work for me.

I have version 1.8.3 and tried 1.8.4, nothing happened.

Could you explain bit more detail? What exactly happened on what  
input to what code, and what did you expect?

I am also getting this error while using default sessions. How did you  
solve this problem?
