note 38408 added to ref.session

After installing Apache 2.0.48 (Win32) and PHP 4.3.4 the scripts I wrote using sessions all didn't run. I always got the error messages "The session id contains invalid characters, valid characters are only a-z, A-Z and 0-9" and "Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct". Several postings in other forums didn't help me figuring out, why I was not able to even start a session using session_start() with my installation (the session.save_path was correct!). Then, eventually, I simply renamed the session.name variable in the php.ini file from the default "PHPSESSID" to something else (in this case "sess"). You know what? It worked...!
