There is no patch because the session code has undergone major changes
and revisions since the 4.2.2 release. Your best bet is to try to
problematic code on a development server and see if the latest version
of PHP still has this bug.

I wish I could, but it's a productionserver on which this occurs.
Installing a snapshot for this site is too dangerous. Is there a patch
for just this specific issue that I might try on our current source?

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

For Windows:

I'm experiencing the random loss of sessiondata. (The same symptoms as
in bug #19029 and in the comments of bug #19022).

While investigating this problem, I found out that the sessioncookie
contains this value:

HTTP_COOKIE          = 1; PHPSESSID=f1faf3374d562e8738f64e7e7e030972;
pollvoted[1]=1;  (... some other data left out for privacy reasons);
PHPSESSID=842be4994a9c424fd7d4f9f8049aadc9

There are two different PHPSESSID cookies!
