Logged in User becomes anonymous on menu selection

I have been using 4.7.4 for a few months. After a few days of inactivity I returned to do some admin work and encountered Access Denied to admin (uid = 1). "You are not authorized to access this page."

However, If I login again while on the Access Denied page, I have access.

If I bypass the menus and go directly to URLs I have access.

I logged in as a regular user and had the same problem.

I plan to start inactivating modules to isolate the problem, but I was wondering if anyone has a clue about what is causing the problem.

Thanks

Another way of stating the problem:
Menu selection causes log out and displays the correct URL so navigation is working.

I need to use database table to change setting for taxonomy_access

Before I can disable the taxonomy_access module I am supposed to deactivate the setting first.

However, I can't deactivate the setting on the admin/settings screen since I get booted to anonymous before the setting changes. So, I need to change the setting in the database.

Does anyone know which database table holds settings?

(I know how to inactivate a module using the database system table which I will do if I can't figure out how to change the setting first.)

I got instructions on how to disable TAC. TAC is not causing the problem. I am now disabling contributed modules in reverse chronology on the outside chance there is some complex interaction causing the problem.

The web host updated PHP from 5.1.7-dev to 5.2.1 on Feb 15, 2007

Someone in the Seattle DUG pointed me to this

I will use the remedies suggested there.
