To reproduce bug do this test:
1) Turn off cookies at browser.
2) run file:
<?
session_name ("SESSID");
session_set_cookie_params (3600); 
session_register("test"); //registring tracks variable. 
if (!isset($test)) $test=1;
$test=$test++;
echo '<a href="'.$PHP_SELF.'?SESSID='.session_id().'">test</a>';
echo '<br><a href="'.$PHP_SELF.'?SESSID=c:\123">test2</a>';
?>
3) Click on a "test2" link

I've looked bug reports, but there is no exactly the same segfualt report. I'll keep this report open.

Cause is known and there are sevral reports already for the same cause, but different segfaults.
