For memcache, the important setting is 'session.gc_maxlifetime' which  
is located in php.ini.  Although looking at the description, this may  
not be the proper setting:

session.gc_maxlifetime specifies the number of seconds after which  
data will be seen as 'garbage' and cleaned up. **Garbage collection  
occurs during session start.**

For memcache, we have no control over when garbage collection occurs,  
so using it in this manner for the memcache session handler is not  
proper.  We probably need an explicit lifetime configuration option in  
the memcache session driver.
