to recreate:
1. create a session with some arbitrary number of session variables
2. Header("Location: someotherurl.php")
Now working in someotherurl.php ...
3. session_start() to re-scope the session variables for use in this page
4. attempt to change value of one of those existing session variables
5. attempt to session_register("some_new_variable")
6. beat your head against the keyboard in frustration :)

using a stock php.ini file

configure line = ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-config-file-path=/usr/ --enable-trans-sid --enable-wddx
[I probably should have added the --enable-mysql portion to the config line, but MySQL is working for now...]

looked for this issue in existing bug database but did not locate anything matching.  apologies if user-error caused duplication of bug report.

it is possible that something elusive or subtle that I did or did not do contributed to this behavior.  please feel free to contact me if you cannot recreate this issue.

what are your register_globals, use_cookies and track_vars?

Very strange, it should work. What session setting are you using?
