Description:
------------
memcache_session.c 
line 188

if (mmc_pool_store(pool, "set", sizeof("set")-1, key_tmp, key_tmp_len, 0, INI_INT("session.gc_maxlifetime"), val, vallen TSRMLS_CC)) {
...

I thought that the session data lifetime should be same with 'session.cookie_lifetime'.


Reproduce code:
---------------
memcache_session.c 
line 188

if (mmc_pool_store(pool, "set", sizeof("set")-1, key_tmp, key_tmp_len, 0, INI_INT("session.cookie_lifetime") == 0?INI_INT("session.gc_maxlifetime"):INI_INT("session.cookie_lifetime"), val, vallen TSRMLS_CC)) {
...

From the session documentation

"session.gc_maxlifetime specifies the number of seconds after which data will be seen as 'garbage' and cleaned up."

This sounds a lot like an expiry timeout, i.e. after these number of seconds it's ok to flush the value, same as in how memcached handles expiry ttl's.
