Admin tab?
When I load a page after a certain amount of idle time (not yet determined, but suspected to be upwards of an hour) while I am still logged in, I see an "Admin" tab to the left of the "My Account" tab at the top of the page. Clicking on the link within the tab brings me to , which produces broken HTML (looks to be a followed by the contents of the right-side column, followed by the usual footers).

1.) The idle-time requirement suggests that there is some stale code handling automatic re-login after a stale session is resumed or that the initial state of such a resumed/superseded session contains Admin rights and the correct security rights are not established until some point after the header is rendered as HTML.

2.) The behavior of the handler for the URL suggests that there actually is an Admin page (which comes as no surprise), but the behavior is unusual. I would have expected a 403 Forbidden error message before obviously-broken HTML.

I hope this issue report is of some use.
