enabled?

With php5 this just works fine ;)

Description:
------------
When using readfile or fread in combination with
session_start php seems to allocate memory for the whole
filesize. Without session_start it doesn't.
Replacing readfile by a fread loop doesn't make any
difference.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
//error appears:
session_start();
readfile('big.zip'); //big.zip > memory_limit
?>
<?php
//working fine:
readfile('big.zip'); //big.zip > memory_limit
?>
<?php
//fread version, same error
session_start();
$fp = fopen('big.zip');
while($d = fread($fp,4096)) {
echo $d;
flush();
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Memory consumation should stay much bellow the whole
filesize as it does without sessions.
Actual result:
--------------
apache error.log:
Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to
allocate 138188800 bytes)
