I guess this bug needs to be fixed somehow but I'd probably just not allow it to be defined as global. The whole reason for making it an auto-global was so that it'll be easy to use. People know (and will know) that $_SESSION is a global. I think your explicit marking of it as a global is not a good idea and doesn't really give you anything. Why not just add a comment if you really feel it is needed?

Hi All,

found a bug

this one will cause a infinte loop in 4.1:
<?php
global $_SESSION; // this will cause a infinite loop
session_start();
phpinfo()
?>
Te docs say that $_SESSION is auto-global in 4.1.0 but it does not say, that
the explicit global declaration is not allowed. However I would like to use
the explicit global declaration for improved code readbility.
