--enable-trans-sid was used to compile PHP

I assume this is a scripting engine problem but not sure.  Using IE 5.0 with cookies enabled, when I open my browser to a page with an empty link <a href="">something</a>, the PHPSESSID=stuff is added to the end and some HTML is repeated.

<a href=""><b>New Online Demo Available...</b></a>
?PHPSESSID=1ae0b9afb0d0027089a9d193b96d338f""><b>New Online Demo Available...</b></a>

When I do a refresh, this problem goes away.  Likewise, once opened to the site, if I leave this page, then come back, the error does not reoccur.  It only happens the first time I visit the page.

Empty links do not occur often, but durring development, they are used a lot as place holders for links to pages that haven't been created yet.

on the first request we do not know if the
browser will accept cookies so we have to
use trans_sid too

the problems regarding rewritung of empty urls 
are fixed in cvs
