If session.auto_start=0 then phpinfo() shows

  ...
  This program makes use of the Zend scripting language engine:
  Zend Engine v1.00, Copyright (c) 1998-2000 Zend Technologies
  ...

But if session.auto_start=1 then phpinfo() gives

  ...

Everything in the output of phpinfo() is fine, just the
copyright-message and the Credits link are wrong.

This strange copyright-message seems to be generated
by the following rule:

 write first letter of message;
 do {
   write eight bytes (e.g. ac f2 ff bf ee 77 1d 40);
   write previous letter, perhaps combined with a  
   write next letter;
 } until copyright-message has been written;

Fragments of the original copyright-message in phpinfo()-output:

Is there a connection with the wrong Credits-link?

  Credits link if auto_start=0:
    <a href="/test.phtml?=PHPB8B5F2A0-3C92-11d3-A3A9-4C7B08C10000"><h1>PHP 4.0 Credits</h1></a>

  Credits link if auto_start=1:
    <a href="&PHPSESSID=c788dfe450a1f071dba2f7270c4d80af"/test.phtml?=PHPB8B5F2A0-3C92-11d3-A3A9-4C7B08C10000"><h1>PHP 4.0 Credits</h1></a>


Compile-options:
./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-xml --with-gd=/usr --enable-trans-sid --prefix=/usr/local/php-4.0.0

Part of used php.ini:

[Session]
session.save_handler      = files
session.save_path         = /tmp/session
session.use_cookies       = 0
session.name              = PHPSESSID
session.auto_start        = 1
