Stupid me -- as well as changing the SessionExpire to a lower number,
you should change this in bin/minivend:
if ($Vend::Session->{'expire'}) {
init_session() if
$now > $Vend::Session->{'expire'};
}
to:
if ($Vend::Session->{'expire'}) {
new_session() if
$now > $Vend::Session->{'expire'};
}
Fixed in 3.15 -- I recommend that 3.14 and earlier users apply this patch:

A similar patch applies to previous versions.
