Description:
------------
I use xampp with php-5.3-win32-VC9-x86-latest.zip (10-06-2009). When I restart the apache (xampp-control), my application runs on a first visit. Sometimes it it possible to reload the page or click on a link with a similar code. Eventually (after 1-3 reloads) the application "crashs". The page loads and loads, but never finishs (I think I have no max_execution_time ..).
I developed the script with php-5.3.0RC2-nts-Win32-VC9-x86.zip (15-06-2009) and when I found out, that session_start() is the reason for the crash, I updated it to php-5.3-win32-VC9-x86-latest.zip (10-06-2009) ..

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
session_start();
echo 'Hello World';
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Hello World

Actual result:
--------------
[no output, loads and loads ..]

Perhaps it has to do with bug #48485. 

The default value for "session.use_only_cookies" has been changed to "1" in PHP 5.3, which IMHO can lead to interesting results with "session.use_cookies" set to "0"...

Does PHP 5.2.9 (or rather, the latest snapshot of 5.2) work?

Hi,
I changed session.use_only_cookies to 0 and eventually found out, that it doesnt?t crash just on session_start() .. it?s really weird.

http://yourcounty.yo.funpic.de/ works fine, but http://yourcounty.yo.funpic.de/bug doesn?t.
http://yourcounty.yo.funpic.de/bug/index.phps is the code.

Funpic works with the following phpinfo: http://phpinfo.ph.funpic.de
My local server works with the described snapshot. While Funpic prints to me "No suitable nodes are available to serve your request.", my local server doesn?t load the page. The crash happened mostly when I typed the url without an ending slash ("/"): localhost/my_path instead of localhost/my_path/index.php or localhost/my_path/
Is it a bug of apache?

Since I changed the session.use_only_cookies settings the above code works fine ..

I guess it has to do with http://de.php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php

$string = md5(crypt('test123', 'any_string_with_special_chars&"?!$'));
