In my Preferences -> Editing, Show preview on first edit is unchecked. Your suggested fix does not work for me. Should a bug be submitted about this issue?

Hello,
Last night I installed MediaWiki 1.6.8 on RHEL3 running Apache 1.3.36,
PHP
4.4.2, and MySQL 4.1.19-standard. When I click on a link to a page that doesn't exist yet, I am taken to an edit page, but see this error
message
before actually doing an edit: Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data.
Please
try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back
in.
My configuration has only changed to Eliminating index.php from the url<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eliminating_index.php_from_the_url using the first option (Using aliases in httpd.conf). I am getting this error on three different machines and on each machine, I have logged out, cleared the cache, closed and open the browser, logged back in and still get the error. I also get the error
when
not logged in. I seached for this error and found a Wikietech-l post
about
this from June. http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2006-June/036112.html
Is there a problem with this customization or a problem with MediaWiki 1.6.8that I've overlooked?
Do you have the editing user preferences set to preview on first edit?
If so it looks like you ran into the same bug that I did. If you turn off that preference it should work.
I discovered this in version 1.6.7, but it looks like it wasn't fixed in 1.6.8.
