ja is the WO 5.4 ajax request handler.

Hello,

I noticed some strange requests in the log of a live application the other day:

66.249.74.173 - - [25/Oct/2012:10:19:42 +0000] "GET /SurvStar/1/ja/bTJaOg4yM8yusyH07q7Fsw/0.0.43.1 HTTP/1.1" 200 1997
66.249.74.173 - - [25/Oct/2012:10:21:48 +0000] "GET /SurvStar/1/ja/bPCp9YKaWJtYnBAbefb3rg/0.0.43.1 HTTP/1.1" 200 1997

66.249.74.173 - - [25/Oct/2012:10:27:42 +0000] "GET /SurvStar/1/ja/0zwYRxtDseruVePtbAddHw/0.0.43.1 HTTP/1.1" 200 1999

(And dozens more.)  That IP address belongs to Google:

$ nslookup 66.249.74.173
Server: 192.231.203.132
Address: 192.231.203.132#53

Non-authoritative answer:
173.74.249.66.in-addr.arpa name = crawl-66-249-74-173.googlebot.com.

The 200 response it's getting is the session restoration error page, as those session IDs are bogus.  Has anyone seen anything like this?  Remind me—what's the "ja" request handler?  Any thoughts on where it would be pulling these (presumably never existent) session IDs from?
