With Transparent SID on and cookies disabled the system occassionally inserts blocks of gibberish (looks like a buffer overflow?) into the output imediately after <f* tags (in url_scanner.c)

i.e. <font => <f ZZ?̏*?ont
and  <form action=  =>  <formZZ?̏*? action=

The corruption is erratic, email me for a document that causes this problem...

Very similar to existing bug - likely has same root cause.
See bug #3411

no, this one is different

#3411 and friends put the session id into the wrong place
but they do not produce rubbish or affect <font> tags ...

does this still happen with current versions ?
i would really like to know this as i am 
reworking url_scanner() this weekend ...

Appears to have stopped in 2.0.1pl2 (or at least I havn't seen it since I put the new version on the system)  It was always intermitent however so I can't say for certain that it is fixed or not...
 [2000-08-01 09:38 UTC] hholzgra@php.net 
as transparent SID code was rewritten this should no longer happen
