orry, I've tried the easy stuff (and some pretty tough stuff too). This
may be needed additional information. If I recreate PHP with all the same
configuration options, except to make it an Apache module, it works fine.
I would keep it this way, however, our security setup won't allow it on the
production system.

Now I'm no PHP expert. Was there a big (or subtle) change in how sessions
were handled between 4.2.x and future versions? I noticed there are
additional INI entries, but they seem to deal with 4.2.x compatibility and
security.

Thanks,
Vincent
