I'm not even sure how session_start() can even do a thing like
that. Unless you have a problem with headers already sent, error.
There was a discussion on this a few weeks back here, but
unfortantly I didn't follow the thread.
hmm.. i think i just rememberd that it might had to do with making
sure that session.cache_limiter being set as 'nocache'.
Search the archives, the answer is there i believe.
