PHP 4.0b3, compiled with mysql and enable-trans-sid.
Using apache 1.3.9.

Normal php config, GPC_globals is on, using cookies, auto_start = 0.

Here's an example of the problem:
index.php:
<? session_start()
     include('foo.inc');
     testfunc();
?>
<html>
<link to index2.php>
</html>

foo.inc:
<? session_register("USERID");
     $USERID = "foo";
?>

Loading index.php, and clicking on the link to the second page, leaves the following
in /tmp/sess_BLAH:
!USERID|

Whereas putting the contents of testfunc() in index.php and performing the same action leaves the 
contents of sess_BLAH as:
USERID|s:3:"foo";

Is this a bug or am I missing something here?
Thanks
John
