logout errors

We have an SP that is landing on an error page when users chose their 
logout button. The web browser lands on the vendors 
.../Shibboleth.sso/Logout page for a few seconds and displays:

---------
*Shibboleth Authentication Request*

You are automatically being redirected to the authentication service. If 
your browser appears to be hung up after 15-20 seconds, try reloading 
the page before contacting the technical support staff in charge of the 
authentication service you are trying to access.

*Redirecting...*
---------

Then after a few seconds, the web browser lands on an error page 
generated by our IdP that states:

---------
*Web Login Service - Error*

An error occurred: SessionNotFound
---------

The url showing this SessionNotFound message is 
.../idp/profile/SAML2/POST/SLO


Using the Firefox SAML Tracer, at this point on the HTTP tab, is the 
following error:

       "responseStatus": 500,
       "responseStatusText": "HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error",


1) What's the above telling me?

2) Looking in our logs I see the following "around the time" of a logout 
of this SP, but there is so much other stuff in the logs (we are NOT 
DEBUG logging). Will bumping up logging tell me which SP is generating 
these:

No flow execution could be found with key 'e4s1' -- perhaps this 
executing flow has ended or expired? This could happen if your users are 
relying on browser history (typically via the back button) that 
references ended flows.
