In my php.ini file I have "session.save_handler = files" for compatibility reasons (so the other sites on my box will run). 

I am developing a site that needs to store sessions in a mysql DB. I have the session handler running fine when the php.ini file says session.save_handler = user, but when I try to set it at runtime using ini_set("session.save_handler", "user"), the child process dies:

 'child pid 2167 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)'.

Further experimentations seems to show that the conflict is actually having session auto start enabled, and having save_handler set to user
