I don't think that this is a duplicate bug. Although the
symptomts are identical to bug #14636 the cause is not
the same.
As of bug #14636 the cause was that session.auto_start
was set to 1 and despite this fact session_start was
used to initiate a session.
I have experienced exactly the same problem although in
my php.ini session.auto_start is set to 0. The bug is
reproduced either with PHP 4.0.6 or with 4.1.1 and IIS
under NT 4.0.
However everything works OK with PHP 4.0.1 and Apache
under Unix.

I'm having the same problem usign php 4.1.1 on Windows. I'm developing
a commercial application and when pass few minutes all session
variables are lost and I have to restart Apache to open a new session
and begin to work...

Dupe of 14363.
No need to report bugs which already have been reported.

The symptoms are identical to bug #14636, but with versions 4.1x and on
Linux. Manual redirection works fine, but when using header("Location:
xxx") registered session variables are lost. All pre-4.1.x -versions
seem to work. Not tested on other platforms.
session.auto_start is set to 0 in php.ini.
Example:
script_1.php:
<?php
session_start ();
/* these session variables should be set in script_2.php.
On versions 4.1.x they never get set. On 4.0.x everything works. */
echo "FOO: " . $foo . " BAR: " . $bar;
?>
<html><head><title></title></head>
<body>
<form action="script_2.php">
<input type="text" name="param1">
<input type="text" name="param2">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body></html>
Script 2:
<?php
session_start ();
session_register ("foo");
session_register ("bar");
$foo = $param1;
$bar = $param2;
header ("Location: $HTTP_REFERER");
?>
