I've seen errors similar to this in the last few days myself, I'm using
Pg.

Known causes:
  - can't connect to database. not sure why it can't just say that
  - using a table called 'session', barfs saying it can't find the PK,
	however renaming the table to 'mysession' and it just goes away.
	[I believe I have a script that demonstrates this]

I honestly can't remember what I've updated recently (well, most of
Catalyst and associated plugins to be fair)

Makes me wonder what's changed in the modules we're all using ..

That would be bloody useful!
