correction; I did not reproduce this

I was manually reloading /ikiwiki.cgi?do=login, and postsignin is not
set when that's done, which is a bug, but not the bug I was after.

 It doesn't seem limited to any login method; email and password have both
 been said not to work. (Openid too, but could be openid provider problem
 there.)

-After a few tries
-I seem to have reproduced the problem with email login; I ended up at a
-"Error: login failed, perhaps you need to turn on cookies?" 
-page but my browser had an ikiwiki session cookie. And,
-looking in the session database file, the cookie id was in there. Then I
-went to "/do=prefs" in the same browser, and I was actually already 
-logged in. 
-
-That points at a problem with the "postsignin" redirect;
-if the session does not get a postsignin url set, it can error out that way
-despite being logged in.
-
-Reproducing again, I posted the login form, and before clicking on the
-login link, looked at the session.db -- it contained an entry for my session,
-but without a postsignin url.
-
-       $ strings sessions.db
-       $D = {'_SESSION_ID' => 'xxx','_SESSION_REMOTE_ADDR' => 'yyy','_SESSION_ATIME' => 1515106022,'_SESSION_CTIME' => 1515105990};;$D
-
-The postsignin url is certianly getting set at other times though,
-and why would this have only recently started to affect lots of users?
