PHP Bug Type:     Session related
Bug description:  Failed to write session data (Files).

I have very frequent errors in my logfiles concerning the session data.  

"[07-Jan-2003 18:46:30] PHP Warning:  Failed to write session data
(files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is
correct (/tmp/php_sess) in Unknown on line 0"

Users are sometimes reporting a problem where sessions are not maintained
but this is apparently *usually* transparent to the users and it is not
often noticed.  

The obvious things are in place, there IS a directory /tmp/php_sess and it
is owned by the webserver user.  I am using PHP 4.3.0 in safe_mode, as
such:

session.save_handler = files                                              
                                                                         
session.save_path = /tmp/php_sess                                         
                                                                         
session.use_cookies = On                                                  
                                                                         
session.name = PHPSESSID                                                  
                                                                         
session.auto_start = 0                                                    
                                                                         
session.cookie_lifetime = 0                                               
                                                                         
session.cookie_path = /                                                   
                                                                         
session.cookie_domain =                                                   
                                                                         
session.serialize_handler = php                                           
                                                                         
session.gc_probability = On                                               
                                                                         
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440                                             
                                                                         
session.entropy_length = 0                                                
                                                                         
session.cache_limiter = nocache                                           
                                                                         
session.cache_expire = 180                                                
                                                                         
session.use_trans_sid = On   

I have apparently had this problem for quite some time dating back to
4.2.x.  

Please advise if there is anything I can try or do?  I have read through
the other similar bug reports that do exist but they all refer to version
4.2.3 and earlier and say the issue is solved in "later version" or
"snapshot".  

Is this still a known issue in 4.3.0?  

Thanks.
