I don't think the user is actually logged out as far as I can tell.  When I
get to the Not logged In page, I can click on a left nav link back to the
Main page and I appear logged  in again.

Does the user stay

No, I don't believe so.

Possibly, I'm investigating this now.

No, it does not, but I think our URL rewrite rules may have something to do
with this issue.  A link from a File mediawiki link looks like this:
http://elinux.org/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Android_test.png

Does that URL look ok?

NOTE:  You can see this test at the bottom of the page here:

No, the authentication and session configuration are stock.

The extensions installed can be seen here:
http://elinux.org/Special:Version but I don't suspect any of them yet.

Yes, http://elinux.org/Main_Page
