|Here's the test case I'm using:

They are not bugs in cgi/session.

  * session data should be strings; non string values are converted
    using to_s in 1.8, so that session['cart'] ||= Hash.new(0) won't
    work.  You need to pack it explicitly, perhaps using Marshal.

  * cgi.params returns arrays, since there's possibility of multiple
    values for a form id.  If you want to use first value, try
    cgi.params["id"][0].

  * since session data are strings 

          session['cart'][cgi.params["id"][0]] += 1

    would not work.
