I can confirm that this bug is still present on Apache 1.3.X with PHP
4.3.10. Today i had some Problems, after Apache restart it works well
(but how long?)... Thankyou.

This isn't just on Freebsd - we're seeing this on all our
Linux servers after upgrade -> 4.3.10 (big webhosting
provider in Sweden). A few users are setting
session.save_handler to 'user' with ini_set(); this sticks
and overrides the default ('files'), resulting in broken
sessions for all the other users on the servers.
Temporary solution by using auto_prepend_file in php.ini to
include something like:
<?php
ini_set('session.save_handler', 'files');
?>
seems to work (just tried it, keeping fingers crossed).
This is a critical bug since the security issues in 4.3.9
make a downgrade impossible.

I am trying to set the session.save_handler back to files manually, but
consider the need to do this (assuming it works) to be a bug - it should
default back to this, not stick in a process with the previous status.
I am encountering this problem now at two different hosting companies,
and never had this problem before they upgraded to 4.3.10

Confirmed on SF.net 4.3.10 Linux
Try several times until error.

<?
session_start();
echo $PHPSESSID;
?>
http://farplugins.sourceforge.net/test/in.php
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
/home/groups/f/fa/farplugins/htdocs/test/.htaccess
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_value session.save_path
"/home/groups/f/fa/farplugins/htdocs/test/tmp"

We have the same problem.
FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE, PHP 4.3.8, Apache 1.3.31
how to repeat:
<?
session_start();
echo $PHPSESSID;
?>
then refresh the website a many times.
you will receive an error:
Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module:
user (path: /tmp) in /home/xxx/public_html/index.php on line 2
the problem still exists also when using custom dir for saving session
files.
