The root of this problem is that we're serializing the login Pieform
object and storing it in the session. This was done in this patch:
https://reviews.mahara.org/#/c/2980/5/htdocs/auth/lib.php
Since that patch was added in Mahara 1.9, this problem is probably
present in all versions of Mahara since then.
Probably, what we should be doing is *not* serializing the entire login
form object, but just portions of it that are made out of PHP primitives
(strings, arrays, etc).

Bug description:
Issue with 15.10
If you are logged into mahara and leave the site open in a browser for
some time when you come back and try to navigate somewhere you can end
up with a white blank screen - on refresh of page all works fine.
The problem is this:
PHP Fatal error: auth_generate_login_form(): The script tried to execute a
method or access a property of an incomplete object. Please ensure that the
class definition "Pieform" of the object you are trying to operate on
was loaded _before_ unserialize() gets called or provide a __autoload()
function to load the class definition in
/home/robertl/htdocs/mahara-devel/mahara/htdocs/auth/lib.php on line 1945
Which deals with the line:
return get_login_form_js($SESSION->loginform->build());
In earlier Mahara you would instead be given (via js) a popup login
box.
