Despite its name, session.cache_expire does not affect the expiry of 
sessions or the cookies associated with them.

As far as I can tell from examining the headers, it looks like an expiry 
date/time is set for the login cookie, but then it is never updated. If 
this is the case, then eventually the expiry date will pass and the 
browser will delete the cookie, even if you have been regularly 
accessing the wiki.

Another possibility is that the cronjob which auto-removes session files 
(assuming files are being used) is set to the default of 24 minutes - 
which will remove your session after that time regardless of what the 
cookie's expiry date is set to.
