<?php
    session_register( "_SESSION" );
    $_SESSION = "kk";

The problem however appears earlier.
It seems that the zval structure ps_globals.http_session_vars points at is freed and allocated elsewhere, but ps_globals.http_session_vars
points to the old location, so when it comes to php_session_save_current_state (#1),
Z_ARRVAL_P(PS(http_session_vars)) holds some meaningless value.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
