Bug description:  session_start() URL Bug

Hi there,

It seems that if the index.php starts with session_start() any hyperlinks
that do not begin with "http://" within the document will have
the
PHPSESSID appended to the end of the hyperlink. Though once you refresh
the same page the PHPSESSID removes itself from the hyperlink.

Example:
<---- start ---->
<?
//File Name: index.php
session_start();
?>
<html>
<head><title>INDEX.PHP</title></head>
<body>
<a href="index.php">reload this page</a>
</body>
</html>
<----- end ----->

When you hover the cursor over the hyperlink you will see:
http://path_to_URL/index.php?PHPSESSID=hash_characters

Now click that same link and you will see (will refresh the page):
http://path_to_URL/index.php

I install only with MySQL, GD, CGI modules.

Is this a bug or is it working as expected?
