It's an usual error. Session module supports session ID creation save handler which may return anything valid for the type. Session module tries to call php_session_create_id() several places/times. If it could not get valid one, it raises E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR or E_ERROR eventually. Although it's not enabled yet, PHP_FUNCTION(session_create_id) returns FALSE it fails.
