I didn't get warning with 5.3.11-dev. Do you still have issue?

Description:
------------
php -n throws a warning:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: mm_create(0, /session_mm_cli1000) failed, err mm:core: failed to open
semaphore file (Permission denied) in Unknown on line 0

Expected result:
----------------
This bug was previously submitted as #49401. Despite marked bogus it can be very annoying and also
it doesn't seem logical to make the default built-in configuration to throw a warning on
most/all the platforms.

I also did some investigation on that libmm used by PHP session extension and found that creating
the semaphore file is not a must on many platforms but it is kind of recommended and fail-safe way.
I don't see any big trouble if libmm's semaphores are created in $TMP or /tmp directory
instead of "blank" - at least it will make PHP _safer_ on many platforms without adding
much risks. Of course the best way imho will be to make some ./configure switch for setting default
session.save_path value or smth like that.
