PHP Version: 5.2.6
New Comment:
We have narrowed this down to memcache session handlers.
Steps to reproduce:
apt-get install memcached
compile memcache extension and add to php.ini file:
extension=memcache.so
sample script:
<?php
ini_set('session.save_handler', memcache);
ini_set('session.save_path', "tcp://localhost:11211");
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime',15578463);
?>

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves.
A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.
Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Description:
------------
While debugging session time out issues, I set the
"session.gc_maxlifetime' option in php.ini to 15778463 (6 months) In
doing so, after restarting the server, of course, I was not able to log
on to my test site at all. This was the only setting that was changed.
I lowered the value until I reached a range that would allow logins
again. Lowering the value to 2400000 allowed a log in to occur. It
seems that somewhere around the 2500000 range is when it stopped
permitting logins.
Logins are authenticated via a MySQL database.
It appears as if an unsigned value is accidentally being treated as a
signed one.
Reproduce code:
---------------
session.gc_maxlifetime = 15778463
Expected result:
----------------
Logins would be allowed, and sessions would not expire within 6 months,
as part of session troubleshooting.
