I'm experiencing the same problem, strange enough NOTHING i tried so
far has solved it. I tried: 

Recompiling PHP
Downgrading PHP
Reinstalling Zend
Upgrading Zend

At a certain moment a harddrive of the server with this error went bad,
and i had to do a complete reinstall on a different drive.. Strange
enough.. the SAME error occured, while I have different servers with
identical hardware and settings which run just fine.. without errors.

Is it possible this error has somehow got anything to do with hardware?
bad memory or something? I simply find it too strange that i'm only
experiencing this error on 1 of the 8 machines, and that even a
COMPLETE re-install didn't work.

I'm using FC3 with Cpanel
PHP 4.4.0 with Zend Optimizer 2.5.10a

I have this problem too and adding the the code with setting
"session.save_handler", "session.save_path", "session.use_cookies" does
not solve this problem. 

I use PHP Version 4.4.0

Used the workaround mentioned two comments below, but experiencing
still the same sporadic errors.

Any further hints are very appreciated.

I experience the same (sporadic) errors on my FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE-p11
using php4-4.4.0 and apache-1.3.33.

The mentioned workaround (putting ini_set in an auto_prepend_file) is
now in place and to be tested.

Additionally, i would be glad if the PHP crew would do something about
this - it's really a shame to see that this bug still happens with
4.4.0.

On our ES 3 machines, we worked around this bug by pre-pending and
appending the following code to all scripts executed (via the php.ini)
file:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cat /tmp/auto_append_file.php 
<?php
if (ini_get("session.save_handler") == "user") {
        @ini_set("session.save_handler","files");
        @ini_set("session.save_path","/tmp");   
        @ini_set("session.use_cookies","1");     
}
?>

Since the error is never exhibited on a freshly spawned instance of
apache, reducing the number of requests handled by apache (in Worker
MPM mode) made sure that new children were spawned before old age
increased probability of the bug; this seemed to be vital to make a 99%
effective solution.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# httpd -l
Compiled in modules:
  core.c
  prefork.c
  http_core.c
  mod_so.c

On our machine we also noticed that after testing this for workaround
for 3 weeks we haven't used any swap on the machine as opposed to
~100MB previously, another desireable side effect.

I had the same problem, with the same error message, mainly
on a dotclear "weblog" application, on the manage section.

I put the PHP code given in the prepend file :
  ini_set("session.save_handler", "files");

and the error automagically disappear, for good (I hope!)

The "save_handler" is just defined in php.ini with value
"files", and not redefined anywhere else. It's strange
that I have to define it again in the code.

Best regards, gu!llaume
