Comment(by norwat):

 I ABSOLUTELY must re-open this ticket.  This is a persistent little bug.
 It has now completely closed down my site, and made the dashboard
 unworkable (no matter the browser, computer platform, or plug-in
 activation).  I have searched the user forums, and it seems I am not alone
 in having this problem (of staying logged in to dashboard).  And yet,
 nobody has suggested a solution.

 I have been on the phone three times with my web host (with excellent
 customer support and input on wordpress ... liquidweb), and they report
 there is no problem with login to database, php pages, or apache server.
 They watched logs, and received no error messages.  One time, simply them
 logging into dashboard twice in a row cleared up the error.  But on
 subsequent tries (on two follow up calls), they were not able to get the
 dashboard working again.  The wordpress dashboard is "BROKEN" on my site
 ... and the software seems incapable to track log-in information, cookies,
 or something else (clearing ALL private data makes NO difference).  I am
 also thinking someone may have hacked my site.  I had a new unknown user
 created on one site with admin functions (the site with secure_auth and
 other security keys still active), which I promptly deleted. I examined
 content of site, and nothing appears to have been changed.  I mention this
 for information purposes only, this problem appears to be widespread
 looking at the user formus, which is a clear indication to me that it is
 something that WordPress "absolutely must" address.
