Interesting. We have the session revival error quite a while and now we at
least know that it might be specific to the web server. (I have tried to
debug this (meaning: to remove the error) with much effort but without
success, and was on the verge of including a custom session support. I
would like to tell the solution, but it is not in sight.)

See my personal mail also. I have used my own debug facility debugMsg (see
my Profile page) which was sufficient for me. I'm glad to take
recommendations on good tools for the future and for users still to come.

What does "which gave errors ins not realizing (too less attention given)"
mean? Are there errors which I dont know about?

I usually try to compress the look of the code to a considerable extent,
because I dont like scrolling and rather appreciate overview. (Only
variable naming escapes this desire, for documentary purposes.) With
UserAuth2 this is also partially as adaption to the standard pmwiki code
look. ;)
