Right. And I don't consider it a bug. I described this behavior when
released the very first version of the session4[_custom] in the readme file
next to the classes (still there, quite outdated, but most of it is still true).
The $sess->in is not saved with session because the PHP4 sessions
don't allow saving a member of an object without saving the whole
object. We don't need to save $sess object with the session, don't we?
It is the one of the few differences between Kristian's Session and
the new Session classes with PHP4 session support.
The problem can be easily fixed in the setup.inc file (or page.inc, or
somewhere else). The only thing You need is to register any other variable
(besides the member of the $sess object) and use it as a marker, or to
check variables in the setup.inc with is_registered() before initialization.
