PHP is compiled with --enable-trans-sid.  When I turn on sessions on, (with session_start()) and try to validate my previously valid XHTML page, the validator throws errors on every link.

[quote from W3C XHTML 1.0 Transitional validator]:
Error: reference not terminated by refc delimiter 
[end quote]

It's referring to the fact that there is a "&" in the code when it is not part of an entity.  Without using sessions, I can use & in a URL and the page will validate.

I guess the actual bug is that it's inserting a & instead of an & which is invalid XHTML.

From php.ini-recommended:

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

More over, the real problem is that the seperation character for URI params is ; not &
