[SOLVED] Session Table Full error

I am getting the following error message when I go to my site.....
This is the second time this has happened in the past week.
The last time it resolved itself.
Does the table clear a session once it is closed out? Logicaly you would assume that once a user left the site the session would be cleared.
I have noticed I am getting crawled by yahoo bots a lot now... sometimes 8 at a time.
Could this be causing the problem?... If so.. any suggestions on curtailing the bot traffic, so only one at a time is on the site at any given time?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
