PHP crashes with the following code:

<?
function a () {
        global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS, $_SESSION;
        return true;
}
session_start();
$tmp=a(); //dies here
echo "Got here";
?>

If you take the "$_SESSION" out of the global statement, it runs without problem.

I'm using PHP 4.1.2 (default php.ini), SUSE 6.4 and Apache/1.3.23

Alejandro.

I just tried the same in PHP 4.1.2 in Win2000 (build 2195) and executed without problem. The problem it's only in the linux version.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. You can grab a snapshot of the
CVS version 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
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
