Sascha, do you still maintain it?
Or it's time to mark ext/session as orphaned?

Description:
------------
Within the session_start function, the session garbage collection is
performed after reading the session information.
This is the case across all versions of PHP that I have looked at
(4.3.10,4.4.1,5.1.1).
If the garbage collection is set to always run (100/100) and a session
has expired with no other script executions in the meantime, then
session_start will load the session data, and *then* expire the session
for the following script execution.
The garbage collection should delete the expired session file before
trying to load any sessions.
Note that this issue leads to the data we have in our session on run 2
being destroyed, even though the time till our next script execution is
only ~5 seconds (well under our gc_maxlifetime of 10 seconds).
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
// run this code with with a gc_maxlifetime = 10
// and gc_probability and gc_divisor of 100
// also making sure that no other php scripts
// are run while the test takes place.
header("content-type: text/plain");
session_start();
echo "Current: ".date('l dS \of F Y h:i:s A')."\n";
echo "Before : ".$_SESSION['ts']."\n";
if (!isset($_SESSION['ts'])) $_SESSION['ts'] = date('l dS \of F Y
h:i:s A');
echo "After : ".$_SESSION['ts']."\n";
?>
