Very out of the blue guess:
I think you need to call session_save() before that will work properly, else the GC will garbage
collect the session after a while.
Try setting session.gc_maxlifetime = 0 for a while to see if turning off the GC fixes the problem.
You could still create your own GC for the PG database, so turning GC off should be not a big
problem compared to loss of data.

Sorry, in my previous comment i meant poor knowledge or understanding ("experience" stems
from wrong formal german translation ...)
Thanks

I checked the whole code base of our application and only found 3 references relying to sessions:
session_start() on every script
session_cache_limiter('must-revalidate'); on the very beginning of all PDF generating
scripts
session_id() in my debug code.
I have no call to session_regenerate_id().
I left all session related configuration parameters at default.
Here is an extract from info.php on the production machine in txt format
session

session.use_cookies On On

session.use_trans_sid 0 0
I dont have any assignment of $_SESSION to another variable like in bug 70013.
The application has been ported from php4. I have not added any new functionality concerning session
management. For my poor experience with PHP session mgmt it seems to be a straight forward, simple
implementation.
Thank you for your efforts, hope to help other people as well

I think you are using session_regenerate_id(true).
Try session_regenerate_id(). i.e. Without "true".
This is a known issue.
