Description:
------------
session_start() is sending the session cookie at every request, and Internet Explorer 6 hangs indefinitely the third time that happens.  This is with PHP 4.3.4 (module) / Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-113 (kernel 2.4.20-20.7) / Apache 1.3.29. 

This problem seems to bear some relation to the problem reported in bug #22771, though I am NOT using session_id(), as described in that report.  Also similar is #25894, but that was marked as bogus.

The code fragment exhibits the problem on my system, described above.  The same code on PHP 4.3.0 (module) / Slackware Linux (kernel 2.4.12) / Apache 1.3.26 works fine -- the session cookie is only sent on the first request.

Reproduce code:
---------------
ini_set( 'session.name', 'MyCookieName' );
ini_set( 'session.save_handler', 'files' );
ini_set( 'session.auto_start', '0' );
ini_set( 'session.gc_maxlifetime', '3600' );
ini_set( 'session.gc_probability', '5' );
ini_set( 'session.serialize_handler', 'php' );
ini_set( 'session.cookie_lifetime', '0' );
ini_set( 'session.cookie_path', '/' );
ini_set( 'session.cookie_domain', '.YOURDOMAIN.com' );
ini_set( 'session.use_cookies', '1' );
ini_set( 'session.use_only_cookies', '1' );
ini_set( 'session.cache_limiter', 'nocache' );
ini_set( 'session.cache_expire', '60' );
ini_set( 'session.use_trans_sid', '0' );

session_start();

Expected result:
----------------
I expect the session cookie 'MyCookieName' to be set on the first request, only.

Actual result:
--------------
'MyCookieName' is set with each request.  Internet Explorer 6 / Win chokes the third consecutive time this happens.

Any modern browser has support for cookies. If IE doesn't, too bad.

Why has that behavior changed in PHP?  As has been mentioned, the new behavior serves no purpose.
