Description:
------------
Was previously submitted here and deemed to be bogus:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30049

But I think reviwer of original report (nlopess@php.net) 
misunderstood. This issue is not bogus.

As reviewer stated, PHPSESSID is appended later, so is not 
translated to &. Hence, in order to produce valid HTML/
XHTML output arg_seperator.output must be set to & and 
is standard practice 

Up until PHP5 this has not been a problem as nothing else 
uses arg_seperator.output.

BUT such a configuration now causes a problem with the new 
http_build_query() in PHP5. The output of that function will 
no longer be valid should the developer want to use in, for 
example, a Location: header (where the & should not be 
escaped).

This is therefore a bug. I would suggest the problem is with 
the transid code which shoudl escape it's &PHPSESSID output 
to &PHPSESSID.

Reproduce code:
---------------
See http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30049

Expected result:
----------------
See http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30049

Actual result:
--------------
See http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30049

http_build_query() in PHP-5.1+ has an optional third "arg_separator" argument.

I suggest, if at all, this is a documentation problem.
