PHP 4.0 Bug #7107: Bug with changing session name

From: richard.heyes@heyes-computing.net Operating system: RHL6.1, Apache 1.3.12 PHP version: 4.0.2 PHP Bug Type: *Session related Bug description: Bug with changing session name Whenever I change the session.name variable like this: ini_set('session.name', 'SESSIONID'); I get this intermittent error: Warning: Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash in func.database.inc on line 101 The offending code on line 101 is this: if(preg_match('/^select/i', $sql)) $rows = db_num_rows($result); Although it's not limited to this code, when using the PEAR db layer it came a cropper on that too. The code there also contained a preg function. (Line 331 of DB.php IIRC) If I don't change the session.name variable, the error never happens.
