Ah .. interesting ...
Did you set the save path explicitely to '/dev/null' ? (And if so,
why?)
All I know at the moment is that serveral session issues are adressed
at the moment. Marking this as analyzed until one of our session gurus
can answer this more accurat.

Thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I found the problem using strace. I had
'session.save_path' set to '/dev/null'.
Why does 4.1.2 not handle this gracefully like 4.0.5, and is there any
way to get a more helpful error message in this case?
In case you're interested in the exact errors, I've included the errors
from the strace below:
unlink("/dev/null/session_mm_apache0.sem") = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a
directory)
open("/dev/null/session_mm_apache0.sem", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0600) = -1
ENOTDIR (Not a directory)
unlink("/dev/null/session_mm_apache0.sem") = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a
directory)

An other alternative would be to use use 'strace' on the apache process
(make sure you start apache with -X switch), maybe you can gather where
it has failed, e.g.
strace -e trace=file -o output /usr/sbin/apache -X
and see in file 'output' what fails.

Can you try a snapshot from snaps.php.net? It might be fixed, if not we
need feedback on that branch anyways.

I'm seeing this problem on Slackware 8.0, when upgrading
from the original mod_php.tgz package (PHP 4.0.5) to the
updated version (PHP 4.1.2).
I already checked, there is no 'session_mm.sem' file to
remove (stopping apache automatically removes the file).
So my question is, what is going on, and how do I fix it?

So it's not a bug in PHP. Thanks & Closing...
