Operating system: All
PHP version:      4.3.2
PHP Bug Type:     Session related
Bug description:  Security lapse due to flaw in session.use_only_cookies

Description:
------------
Our SID's have been leaking out today and becoming shared between 5+ users
at once, causing massive corruption.

Our theory is that session.use_only_cookies does not always work.  It
sometimes allows the SID to propagate in URL when cookies are disabled
(noticed in Netscape not IE for some reason).
