I can confirm the issue which is, however, indeed no security
issue, but rather a programmer error.

I would like to fix this bug by forbidding to set save handler to "user" by ini_set() because it does not make sense. i.e. Setting save handler to "user" without user defined save handler cannot work at all.

Any comments?
