Has anyone else tried this edit below to the mod with 3.6.4? Does it work well?

The edit to include cookies (not part of the original mod) does not work properly for me. Or perhaps it works but not as it should. For example, I'm seeing 20 entries for the same user in 5 minutes (apparently as they go from page to page). Those are not cookie logins, they are just cookie sessions. I was hoping it would take into account when they were last inactive (for the cookie timeout) and not create so many duplicates. Essentially this is now logging every page access by every user, which on a huge forum like mine will fill up super fast and take up resources.
I just double checked my installation, and it is definitely *not* doing that. I then checked the code... and it should *definitely* not be doing that, if your session management is working right -- I don't think that it should authenticate against the cookie unless the session does not already exist (which is the ($gotsession == false or {blahblahblah}) parameter surrounding where this is placed). Are you sure that you put it in exactly the right spot, and you didn't by chance put it below the two closing curly brackets (})?
By the way, I'm noticing this happening mostly on accounts that are using AOL (proxy/cache) and the IP address changes almost every minute (I do have IP info and proxy to real IP installed).
In that case (just brainstorming), the AOL accounts might be not maintaining the session, and are instead authenticating against the cookie on every page load... which sounds like it would be a nightmare. I've not experienced that on my forum, and I also have quite a few AOL users.

Do you use any of the mods I've mentioned (proxy to ip, vbseo, etc)?
Downloaded it installed but I still dont see it. All I see at the statistics and log manager are the sameones that where their before. I dont log logins hack anywhere. Unless Im missing something lol.
