The web site bugs list reported an error
"Warning: Could not execute mail delivery program in /local/Web/sites/phpweb/bugs.php on line 101"
so I'm posting manually.

  Operating system:
  PHP version: 4.0.6
  PHP Bug Type: Session related
  Bug description: session_set_cookie_params broken

  This assumes default settings in php.ini

  Description: the effect of session_set_cookie_params() is documented to
  last only for the duration of the calling script, however it's affect
  appears to last globally forever. i.e. After using a session named
  "SID1" with a cookie timout of 5 seconds, subsequently using a
  session "SID2" with default cookie parameters will also have a
  timeout of 5 seconds.

  The following two scripts will illustate this.

  <?php
    session_name("SID1");
    session_set_cookie_params(5,"/");
    session_start();
    echo "Sid is [",session_id(),"]\n";
  ?>

  Loading this, SID1 changes every 5 seconds as expected.

  Loading the following, however, SID2 also changes every 5 seconds, even
  though cookie params have *not* been set in this script.

  <?php
    session_name("SID2");
    session_start();
    echo "Sid is [",session_id(),"]\n";
  ?>
