Answers.Text: Thank you very much. This appears to have solved the issue. I went ahead and added the overridePhpSessionLocation config setting and deleted the whole `craft/storage/runtime/` folder. When I logged in again with a private browsing window, Craft recreated all the necessary runtime cache files, and I'm not getting logged out any longer.

  Most likely wherever Apache/PHP is configured to save session files doesn't exist or isn't writable.
  
  If you've got the [overridePhpSessionLocation](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/config-settings#overridePhpSessionLocation) config setting set to `true`, then that will be in `craft/storage/runtime/sessions` folder.
