I expect the problem to lie elsewhere, since it happens on certain pages while using the interface. There almost can't be a session timeout, as I'm browsing. I just get redirected to the login page. What could this be?
What version of eZ Publish are you using ? Asking this to find out if the session handler in use is the PHP-based one. What can happen is that php-based sessions can not be opened anymore due to a full disk. Not very likely, but worth checking.
Other check that could be useful : do you get the session cookie after logging-in, and do you see your user, from the back-office, as having an active session (Setup > Sessions) ?
Cheers,

Thanks for the info. The site is on 4.4, server is running php 5.2.9, and I do receive the eZSESSID cookie. The setup > sessions page however returns "
Your current session handler does not support session administration."
The php-based session handler was introduced as the default in Fuji - 4.4. Given the message you get ("Your current session handler.." ), file-based session management is in use. Scanning the PHP changelogs from 5.2.10 to 5.2.14, i stumble upon the following interesting stuff :
"Fixed segfault on invalid session.save_path."
"Added protection for $_SESSION from interrupt corruption and improved "session.save_path" check"
I would definitely give the PHP upgrade a try, if i were you.
Cheers,
PS : check session.save_path in php.ini, and make sure it is storing sessions in a place where there is enough disk-space or write rights. Cheers.
