Hi Masi,

i don't see the need for that too. It's two times really the same
in start: $this->user = $this->fetchUserSession();
in checkAuthentication: $this->user = $this->fetchUserSession();

should be $haveSession = is_array($this->user) ? TRUE : FALSE;  ?

It looks like that feature auto-login is loosing the session data, i don't 
know really.
Is auto-login a core feature or extension?
