Hi,in the function matcheditToken there is a call to a function only
availableif you use memcached. The line in question is

$mckey = memsess_key( session_id() );

the memsess_key function is registered in the function "SetupSession"
(alsoin user.php). This function is only included if $wgSessionsInMemcached
istrue tough (as it should).

to solve the problem the function matcheditToken has to be
altered.searchfor the line:

 if ( $val != $sessionToken ) {
and change this to:

  if ( $val != $sessionToken and $wgSessionsInMemcached ) {

This change will avoid the error "call to undefined function
memsess_key"when the session is lost.
Best regards,
Peter.
