Using Apache 1.3.19, PHP 4.0.5, MySQL from April download. The web site has worked with several releases of Apache, PHP and MySQL (except an early PHP release 4 XML). I added MySQL based session code from another site working happily with older versions of everything. When I start a page that has session code, the session open, read, write and close functions complete, the page displays ok but Apache is left in a loop using 100% CPU.

I cannot get in to subsequent pages to test anything until I shut down Apache. After I restart Apache, I can see the session record in MySQL and a log in a disk file complete with entries from open, read, write and close.

I made the minimum changes to the 4.0.5 php.ini, turned off all magic quotes, added PostgreSQL, but nothing related to sessions and nothing over the last few weeks. The error seems to happen after the last of my code has finished so the session stuff is setting up something to explode after the session close code has completed.
