Security: Token is not accepted anymore when creating/updating user

Good new week, everybody.

I just noticed that I can't create/updated users anymore in my app.
I'm always getting a white screen of death when trying it. I tracked
it down to the security component that checks the submitted form data
(_validatePost()), and the token submitted through the form doesn't
equal the check value.

I'm trying to track down where's the problem (it does only happen when
creating/updating a user; all the other models work), but it's rather
difficult for me because I'm new to the check/token-paradigm...

So maybe someone could point me to an explanation of this? The source
code of CakePHP isn't too well documented on this topic, sadly.

As far as I can see, a token is some sort of "validation value" that
is generated when the form is displayed to the user. Then after
submitting, the token is re-generated and compared to the submit
token. But I don't really understand what's this useful for.

Thanks a lot for help, I'm working on this issues for hours now and
I'm quite lost at the moment.
