Aha, I had just come to the conclusion that attacking the
session.auto_start variable was likely to be related to this bug as
well.  Trying to set it in the httpd.conf file didn't seem to work
right, though..

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_admin_value register_globals 1
php_admin_value session.autostart 1
</IfModule>

Creating an 'info.php' file containing <? phpinfo(); ?> helped me to find
the appropriate location for the php.ini file for my install, though, and..

it worked!

This has been not been working properly for us for months.  The
session.auto_start issue should most definitely be in a FAQ someplace.
