ASPState database transaction log out control

I am developing an Asp.Net web site which is using SQL Server session state
being held in the ASPState database. I noticed recently that the ASPState
database transaction log had grown to 7.5GB despite the face that only a
small number of users were using the web site which is still under
development. Any reason for this runaway growth' Build as below
.Net Framework 1.1
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP1
Sql Server 2000 Standard Edition SP4

You should run the ASP.NET state database in simple recovery mode unless you
are trying to do log shipping or something with it. Better yet, use the
script to create all its objects in TempDB intead of their own database.
