Just to re-iterate - I haven't modified anything near line 97 of
horde.php and if I set sessionhandler type back to 'none' and comment
out the extra params everything is working again and I get no segfaults,
but we're back to random logouts:

An strace doesn't show anything glaringly obvious to me:

Is there any actual documentation on how a MySQL sessionhandler should be
setup?  Is anyone able to help?
