New Comment:
I can't reproduce this. Is the behavior same in PHP 5.2.6? Isn't it
affected by register_globals?

My apologize for that I am changing the category but there is still a
bit of a problem with session store if one actually tries to put invalid
stuff to $_SESSION, as I described.
Also, is it possible to emerge a warning at some stage if an invalid
key is put to $_SESSION - guess it is something worth to be done along
with the notes in docs.

This needs to be told in the manual. Even as $_SESSION and
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS look different they're essentially same thing. (dunno
how to say this better..just don't do it! :)

Description:
------------
Looks like session data gets corrupted at serialization step if one
attempts to store certain variables in session, namely
HTTP_SESSION_VARS. As far as I understand it is a desired behavior that
var with that name doesn't get saved in session (still it is *really*
worth mentioning that in documentation on sessions), but it seems to
have some side effects on successive variables passed to the session.
Reproduce code:
---------------
session_start();
print '<pre>';
print_r($_SESSION);
print '</pre>';
$_SESSION['qwerty'] = 1;
$_SESSION['HTTP_SESSION_VARS'] = 2;
$_SESSION['ABC'] = 'qqq';
Expected result:
----------------
First call:
Array
(
)
Later calls:
Array
(
[qwerty] => 1
[ABC] => qqq
)
Actual result:
--------------
First call:
Array
(
)
Later calls:
Array
(
[qwerty] => 1
[i:2;ABC] => qqq
)
