"what i did":
code's here:

session_set_save_handler ('sess_open', 'sess_close', 'sess_read', 'sess_write', 'sess_destroy', 'sess_gc');
function sess_open() { return true;}
function sess_close() { return true;}
function sess_read() { return ""; }
function sess_write() {}
function ses_destroy() {}
function sess_gc() {}

session_start();
echo "program got here";
;--------------
ok, the above program won't crash the apache

but if i change:
--> function sess_read() { return ""; }
into:
--> function sess_read() { return null; }

"what i expected to happen" is: php `should` warnning me my returning isnot STRING, or keep running quietly

"what happened" is: no response from apache

and here why i report this bug:
a server running 100 website, one of the custom(the one can upload/update php file for his site) is able to attact the server by using the above script, making `fool` of the server

and can browse other php pages without restarting apache

i've tested it on my linux server, script finished quite fine
