Description:
------------
When I upgraded to php 5.2.10, I had my error log growing to 100s of
MBs with error messages that it was unable to open its semaphore file. 
I un-commented the php.ini line:  "session.save_path = ", created a
directory that could be written to, and this resolved that particular
error.

However, I'm still getting the following errors, albeit on a less
frequent basis.  I got 53 of these in one day however:

[07-Sep-2009 00:24:46] PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: mm_create(0,
/home/fuelsa5/tmp/php/session_mm_cgi32010) failed, err mm:core: failed
to open semaphore file (File exists) in Unknown on line 0

There are files being created in the directory, so it's not a
permissions issue.  Per the warning, a duplicate file is attempting to
be created.

Expected result:
----------------
I expect not to get so many error messages.  I'm not even sure what's
breaking.
