Description:
------------
PHP Seems to crash (Segmentation Fault) when you provide it with an invalid save_handler in PHP.ini.

I've attached a backtrace below.



Reproduce code:
---------------
Setting the save_handler value in php.ini to an invalid value
eg.
session.save_handler = file



Expected result:
----------------
PHP Fatal error:  Unknown: Cannot find save handler file in Unknown on line 0


Actual result:
--------------

Nope, happens every time i try to run phpmyadmin through php  if that helps. I've no idea which line actually causes it to seg tho, trying to figure that one out :/

Core was generated by `php-fcgi -c /root/php.break.ini index.php'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Curious tho , as it displays the output of the page .. and then promptly crashes rather than exiting cleanly.

eg: 
<page html>
    PHP Fatal error:  Unknown: Cannot find save handler file in Unknown on line 0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
 [2006-08-10 14:59 UTC] tony2001@php.net
We still need a short reproduce case.

I'm gonna go scour the phpmyadmin code
