Where does it say that setting session.gc_maxlifetime to 0 would give
should behaviour? It's just what is says _maximum_  
lifetime of session, 0 means it's always cleaned whenever
the random cleaning happens.

Expected behaviour -> not bug.

  This is a dupe of bugs #17846, #19029, #19972.  I wanted to update
the version and circumstances.  For the most part everything works
fine, then randomly the session will fail.  In my php.ini the
max_gc_lifetime (don't know exact spelling) is set to 0 (on browser
close).  Everything else is set to the standard settings.

  This is an annoying bug because it's hard to isolate it.  
I have heard some theories of the cookie prematurely expiring, two
sessionid's in the cookie, etc.  I tried the latest CVS this morning on
my test server and the error is still present.

  It is not a problem with my code, all I have is a session_start() and
$_SESSION["username"] at the top of every page to check if the session
exists.  I do not have any custom session handler and pretty much have
a standard install for Win32 (AF doesn't let us use Linux).

  Any ideas??
