Rambo and Torben both posted more info on this one. The error is
actually PHP installation-specific. We're using a deprecated method
from NemeinAuthentication for doing some stuff inside Aegir, and
it simply doesn't work with your PHP install.

The problem is, since Aegir depends on this deprecated method
we can't simply fix it by upgrading to latest NemeinAuthentication.

You could try overwriting the auth_hack_session function in snippet
/Nemein_Authentication/Functions with the latest version from CVS:

//Obsolete but kept here in case someone needs to do something similar
(and for historical value=)
function auth_hack_session() {

~        // *** Mega-hack get session data wo using php session open
~         if (!$session_path=ini_get('session.save_path'))
$session_path="/var/state/php";
~         if (substr($session_path,-1,1)!="/") $session_path.="/";
~         $file=$session_path."sess_".session_id();
//echo "DEBUG: sessionfile: $file <br>\n";
~     if (file_exists($file)) {
~         $fh=fopen($file, "r");
~       if ($fh) {
~            $data=fread($fh, filesize($file));
~         fclose($fh);
//error_reporting (E_ALL);

//2003-02-08: Changed to allow for more leeway in the class (Rambo)
preg_match('/auth_sessiondata\|O:(\d+):"auth_session":(\d+)/', $data,
$matches);
$mucked=str_replace('auth_sessiondata|O:'.$matches[1].':"auth_session":'.$matches[2],
'a:'.$matches[2], $data);

~         $auth_sessiondata=unserialize($mucked);
/*
echo "DEBUG: auth_sessiondata <pre>\n";
print_r($auth_sessiondata);
echo "</pre>\n"; reset ($auth_sessiondata);
*/

~       } else {
~          $error=localize_string("Could not open session",
"/Nemein_Authentication/NemeinLocLibrary", $nemein_net['language']);
~       }
~     }

~     return $auth_sessiondata;
}

Note to Aegir devs: we really need to resolve this issue in
acceptable manner.
