Description:
------------
I.m running:
- PHP 4.3.9
- Apache 1.3.33
- Red Hat Linux release 7.2 (NTT/VERIO EWH)

Some session variable values are getting written in the session file as "spacer".  Yet all other variables are getting written correctly!  When i set the session var & print out the $_SESSION array, it is showing the value of the variable exactly as I set it. i.e.  I'm setting SKU to one of our valid SKU's:
$_SESSION['SKU'] = "iway500c";
print_r($_SESSION);
Array
(
    [mycountry] => USA
    [mainhost] => localhost
    [environment] => local
    [SKU] => iway500c
)    

but in the session file written in /tmp it gets saved like this:
mycountry|s:3:"USA";mainhost|s:9:"localhost";environment|s:5:"local";SKU|s:6:"spacer";

I can change the name of the var to SKU2 or even my initials(JB), & even the value to a different sku such as sp2620, but it always gets saved as spacer, no matter what!!!

Any response would be appreciated?

Regards,
Jeff Brown

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we

resources such as databases, etc.

If possible, make the script source available online and provide
