I am getting exactly the same thing using the pre-compiled Windows
binary with Windows XP and Apache 2.0.45

Please provide a complete, short and self-contained script
so we can try and reproduce this ourselves.

4.3.2RC3 has been working fine, but after upgrading to RC4, we are
seeing some bizarre session variable behavior.

semicolons (;) are showing up infront of some session variable names.

e.g. an excerpt from the output of print_r ($_SESSION):
    [ppm] => 17.75
    [;;;platecost] => 100
    [;;;shipcost] => 0
    [;;;printingcpm] => 15
    [;;;minimum] => 15000
    [allowoverrun] => 1

Reloading the page that merely does print_r ($_SESSION) causes 1 more
semicolon to the afflicted variables with each reload!

contents of /tmp/php/session file:
agent_id|s:5:"barry";contact|s:13:"Barry J Gould";agency|s:21:"HHS
Internet Services";phone|s:17:"714-577-4313
x313";adid|i:100;adindex|i:19;adname|s:44:"English and Spanish Version,
2 Sides -
ocala";numsides|i:2;adtype|s:1:"I";vendorid|i:1;ppm|d:17.75;;;;platecost|d:100;;;;shipcost|d:0;;;;printingcpm|d:15;;;;minimum|i:15000;allowoverrun|i:1;overrunquantity|i:0;pubfreq|s:1:"w";pubmonth|i:1057042800;

note the extra semicolons in the session file too!

RC3 DOES NOT do this!

./configure --with-mysql --with-gd --with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib
--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-config-file-path=/etc
--enable-sockets
