Description:
------------
Session management fails when I stop the browser while a PHP page is loading.
As soon as the browser requests a file with a session_start or session_register command the browser gets in a
kinda endless loop and the session file stay open. The browser keeps waiting and waiting and nothing happens (nothing appears on the screen).

I tryed to list the open files on system (lsof) when this happen.
And, see my session file opened by a httpd process for 20 minutes, even when the browser has canceled the requisition. 

While the command : lsof | grep sess_SESSIONID return the file open, I could not access any page with session_start() or session_register().

Pparently the apache process has locked the file, and any other process can read it (the session file)

I'm using PHP4.3.2 / Debian 3.0 Linux 2.4.20 / Apache 1.3.28
My configure command:
'./configure' '--with-mysql=../mysql/mysql-standard-4.0.12-pc-linux-i686'
'--with-apache=../../apache/build_deb/deb2/apache-1.3.28' '--enable-track-vars'
'--disable-debug' '--with-gd' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-inline-optimization'
'--enable-sockets' '--with-zlib'

ignore_user_abort(true); is always a good idea.

But try a newer version, the problem may have went away.

ignore_user_abort(true)  didn?t help...

some how, system can?t see that php fails, or take too much time, to delivery the page and the user press "Reload"

May we set some time limit to the session file be lock in a single request?

I try to use this snapshot and the problem was not solved...
Then, I install php 4.3.4 and apache 1.3.29... and the problem still happens...

Can not reproduce with 10 sites heavily dependant on sessions.
Check your scripts.
