When use-cookies is set to Off or when the possibility to use them doesn't exist, PHP adds the session variable to links on the outputted HTML-page.

The link may look like this: <A HREF="?DO=addCode&PHPSESSID=60d92bce38ab509722c1337ee1de0d72">

There's a problem with the above link - it doesn't follow the standards. This is easy to fix, just change & to &amp; 

I don't consider this some huge disadvantage but it could be fixed.

You can change this with arg_separator.output ini directive.

From php.ini-dist:

; The separator used in PHP generated URLs to separate arguments.
; Default is "&". 
;arg_separator.output = "&amp;"

(you should also update to PHP 4.1.1)

Reclassified as docu prob since this is not mentioned
on the session docs. (or in the configuration part either)

I know, but I'm not in a position to chose. I'm a customer at a hosting company.

use ini_set() then

you should be able to change this setting at runtime
using set_ini() ?

This is not a bug. There is an option with which this
can be handled. Ask your hosting company to use it.

Duh..I should have read my own comment first. :)
Still a documentation problem.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. You can grab a snapshot of the
CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation 
problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/.
In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
