>From what I have read the problem seems to be this:

The automatic $_SESSION serialization/unserialization occurs when you call session_start().
That means the order in which you include your files and call the session_start() is very important.

Eg

BAD:
session_start();
require_once('pieforms/pieform.php');

GOOD:
require_once('pieforms/pieform.php');
session_start();

One possible solution is to use the session_write_close(), then
session_start()

Title:
  White screen when session times out

Status in Mahara:
  New

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.
