Description:
------------
PHP 4 end of life == 2007-12-31
so that we no more need compatibility with php4 in php5 ;)
sorry for my bad english :(

Reproduce code:
---------------
; PHP 4.2 and less have an undocumented feature/bug that allows you to
; to initialize a session variable in the global scope, albeit register_globals
; is disabled.  PHP 4.3 and later will warn you, if this feature is used.
; You can disable the feature and the warning separately. At this time,
; the warning is only displayed, if bug_compat_42 is enabled.

session.bug_compat_42 = 1
session.bug_compat_warn = 1

Expected result:
----------------
session.bug_compat_42 = 0
session.bug_compat_warn = 0

Actual result:
--------------
session.bug_compat_42 = 1
session.bug_compat_warn = 1

There's no win from changing that, just more confusion for people finally updating from very old PHP versions. For everybody doing proper code (including register_globals=off) that thing has no effect.

These lines always exists in php.ini-development for PHP 5.5.9 (Windows binaries)
