This is controlled by the session.gc_probability value in your INI file which is set to 1 by default. This means that every 100th access to any PHP script on your server will initiate the session garbage routine which might kill your outdated session file. Increasing this value will make this process more often, setting it to 100 will have PHP run the garbage collector every time a PHP script gets executed (you shouldn't do this - think in concurrency terms...) -- >O Ernest E.
