I had already assumed the culprit was phpGedView as I have 4images installed on other sites and don't have the problem. Google suggested I try http://www.top25web.com/blog/2004/02/disabling-session-ids-in-phpbb-forums.html and I just haven't bothered to try it yet. I've temporarily stopped all robots from crawling my site and I'll look into this further soon. Thanks for the suggestion Ron.

If you have access, edit your .htaccess file per the instructions at this page: http://baheyeldin.com/drupal/how-to-get-rid-of-phpsessid-in-drupal-and-other-php-applications.html You can test whether it stuck by disabling cookies in your browser, and see if PHPSESSID shows up in the URLs when you browse around in phpGedView.
