I elected not to.  If the handle is flushed by an external resource
manager, we get this event.  If the RM and the app agreed to release
the session handle, then flushing the space would be overkill because
it would destroy the client session, so simply removing the handle
works.  If the client tries to use the session again, it gets an error
and if it doesn't everything just works, which seems to be optimal.
