Incompatibility 8.1.1 with PHP 4.1.1

There is incompatibility with 8.1.1 and PHP 4.1.1. When you log-in as
administrator and click on any link on page, you will be immeditely logged-
out. Therefore it is not possible to administer your website.

Problem is in different work with global variables and sessions in PHP
4.1.1.

You have to find all presences of "global $admintest..." in non-function
scope and to comment it ("//global $admintest...").

Source of the problem is illustrated on this piece of code:

session_start();
global $counter; //when you remove this row, all will work properly
session_register("counter");
$counter++;
echo $counter;

On PHP 4.0.6 works both versions (with "global $counter;" and without it)
properly.
On PHP 4.1.1 works properly only version without "global $counter;".
