Can you please provid a small reproduce script, self contained, so we
can run a diagnostic and try to fix this issue.

Please post this script here, this bug report seems to be valid but the
infos are splitted between blog posts, external forums and extensive
explanations, that does not help.

I think more insight is welcome, so here we go:

As to the article on stackoverflow referenced above, it works, but in 
somewhat different context. The fact mentioned there work arounds the 
problem with Zend Framework and opcode cachers. It is true, that if 
you have no custom session handler ant you won't call either 
Zend_Session::writeClose() (or session_write_close() for that matter),

it will crash yout sp_autoload in described manner. 

What are we dealing with here is when a custom handler is defined as a

class and it tries to instantiate another class (say some wrapper 
object around the session data), the issue will occur in these 
situations: 
 * calling new on non-defined class altogether
 * calling new on a class that is to be autoloaded through autoloader
 * the class instatiated through new hasDEPENDENT CLASS(es) THAT USE 
AUTOLOADER for their function, i.e.: I can require_once the class 
giving me trouble, but if it depends on other classes, we are back to 
square one.

What is the most confusing fact, the autoloader complains about non-
loadable classes, but it can be a class half-way down the dependency 
tree. (and that is why I've seen this bug reported on Doctrine project

bugtracker, because if you use Doctrine class for session saving like 
I do, the autoloader will probably complain about not able to load 
some Doctrine class) It is as if the autoloader crashes, but not 
immidiately in the write function of the session class.

As I mentioned before, 5.2.6 was working for me, so was 5.3.0 (but 
from Zend server CE version), the rest in between and the latest build

(5.3.1) give me the trouble. 

I can supply more detail to developers, I studied this phenomenon 
rather thoroughly, as you can imagine.

This bug occured again on version 5.3.1 from dotdeb.org

I found out that by adding a 'session_write_close()' call at the end of
my index.php, the problem seems to disappear.

I found this fix thanks to:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1364750/opcode-apc-xcache-zend-doctrine-and-autoloaders

and checked the source code of the Zend framework to find that the
writeClose() function basically only does a 'session_write_close()'
call.

Hope it helps..

I can confirm that the submitted code to reproduce this problem also 
'works' on a server without PHP APC installed (used <?php 
var_dump(function_exists('apc_add')); ?> to check). PHP version 
5.2.12.

Are there any other extensions that could cause this behavior?

date, libxml, openssl, pcre, zlib, bz2, calendar, ctype, hash, filter,
