Hi.  I am having a similar problem.  It seems that I'm losing authentication
as soon as the next click.  So for instance, I log in and see the message
"Authenticated as..." but as soon as I click another link it goes right back
to "You must log in first".  I thought it might be the 5.1.6 (which I'm
using) session bug.

But I've check out my php session directory (/var/lib/php/session) and
examined the session file contents before and after losing
authentication...the session file is being reused and modified.  And the
problem happens with any user/browser/system.

So, is this the same issue, or another thing?  I've poked around for days
and I can't make it work.

Thanks for any insight you can provide.
Jim
