I have a module to store session data in PostgreSQL database.
Open & read part works, the write is buggy.  In the log I get:

-- log --

<br>
<b>Warning</b>:  Failed to write session data. Please check that the current
+setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in <b>Unknown</b> on line
+<b>0</b><br>

Please try latest CVS and report if you still have problems.

No.  CVS did not compile, so I replaced 4.0.1pl2 session/ with
CVS's one and tested this.

Seems like I forgot to mention my _main_ problem. That is, session.c
uses my 'open' & 'read' to start session, but seems like it uses 'files'
'write' & 'close' to end session.  When I register my own shutdown function
that basically does

{
        my_write(session_id(), session_encode());
        my_close();
}

then everything works.  My functions log to a file so I see that my write
does not even get called.

Before I sent a mail to -general, where this was described, but seems
like this was wrong place to send it, and afterward I forgot.

---- Now --enable-debug reports:

<b>Warning</b>:  Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in <b>Unknown</b> on line <b>0</b><br>
Unknown(0) : Warning - Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp)

Seems like it is fixed in current CVS.

I did some digging and the problem was that after
the page was sent away but before the shutdown functions
were called (session.c's) the ini var "session.save_handler"
was reset to default.  Dunno why... If I put into
config "save_handler = user" then it was reinitialized
to "user" and it kept working.  But why the reinit?

Anyway, at the moment I do not see the bug.
