Description:
------------
On a hosting server, the /tmp file system was mounted as read-only.
The function session_start() returned TRUE on failure to open a session file. It should have
returned FALSE.
There is a Warning message issued by PHP but it should have been an ERROR message.


Test script:
---------------
session_start();
session_write_close();


Expected result:
----------------
session_start needs to return FALSE on failure to open a session.

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: session_start(): open(/tmp/sess_99c3aa0ceeec362b9de4ece520aeef64, O_RDWR) failed: Read-only
file system (30) in /homepages/21/d361866886/htdocs/dayspeak_net/testlp.php on line 2

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started
