problems with passport login

[dcsan]

during development the user object within the passport code seems to sometimes just come back as [

this is the raw value the passport.serializeUser(function(user, done) { receives.

so the session gets set like this:

/home session: { cookie: 
   { path: '/',
     _expires: null,
     originalMaxAge: null,
     httpOnly: true },
  passport: { user: '"["' },
  token: 'xxxxxx' }

this seemed to happen after i was using /developing with my app for a couple of hours, twice in a row.

it looks like an array of users is trying to come back from the passport.use code, but things are breaking soon after that.
