What do you mean by "bumped off"? Is their session data disappearing? Maybe
you have so many concurrent users that the "unique" session id isn't unique
anymore and people are being given the same ID, overwriting the data?

If you're referring to session.cookie_lifetime being set to zero, that means
it only exists until the browser is closed, then the cookie is deleted.

I don't think this would be causing the trouble. This setting controls the
cleanup of old session files in your temp directory. When the garbage
collection is triggered, if the session file has not been accessed for over
1440 seconds, it's deleted. If someone still has a cookie matching this
session, then when they return to the site, a new (empty) file will be
created.
