Some of the users of my shop experience a 503 'Service unavailable' error when trying to log in or reset their passwords.
- if a user gets the 503, the same account keeps getting the error, until I reset the password from admin panel
- accounts getting the error are not special in any way (default customer group only, common mail addresses, more-or-less secure passwords, some accounts are confirmed already, others are not, various browsers are used.
- the 503 page represented is NOT the magento one, it is more of a page provided by the hosting company
- error appears on both apache and litespeed server, with various caching on and off
- digging into code I found that the loginPostAction gets through to Mage_Core_Model_Session_Abstract_Varien->regenerateSessionId() method, which fails at
session_regenerate_id(true);
Accounts with working login get a new session Id at logging in, but the 'broken' ones don't. I can reproduce the issue on the very same browser with different login data.
When running strace on index.php while running a 503-causing login, i get the following output:
stat("/home/myhome/public_html/index.php", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0664, st_size=3146, ...}) = 0
stat("/etc/sysconfig/64bit_strstr_via_64bit_strstr_sse2_unaligned", 0x7ffeb2f2ff70) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

write(1, "/home/myhome/app/Mage.php was "..., 41/home/myhome/app/Mage.php was not found) = 41
Right now I am stuck with debugging this. Any ideas on how to proceed? Thank you!
