Hi, I set up a basic schroot environment to run a couple of 32 bit
apps on my amd64 box. The problem is that when the program exits
schroot leaves all its session data behind, mount points and all (so
`mount` returns a hell of a lot of entries)
schroot is being called as follows
`ls -l myprogram`
myprogram -> do_schroot
`cat do_schroot`
exec schroot -p -c sid32 -q -- "`basename $0`" "$@"
So when I run `myprogram` schroot runs it for me in a 32bit env. My
question is, what should I change to make sure that schroot uses as
few sessions as possible and closes them when done?

I had a similar problem when I first switched to schroot from dchroot.
In my case it turned out to be a problem with the way was launching
the program in the chroot. I originally used wrapper scripts, which
for some reason didn't terminate when the program they had launched
terminated, and therefore kept the session open.
It may help if you could give us more information on what myprogram
does, and how it is launched, in the chroot?
In any case you could try
#schroot -e --all-sessions
to kill the existing processes.
