Session Management/etc

Im having some problems with session management with PHP4 Beta 2. I have started the session [session_start();], registered the variable [session_register('x');], and verified the variable exists in the session/temp file. My problem is when I go in the next php page, and refer to the variable, it is empty (e.g. print "X contains: $x<BR>";) shows that it has nothing in it. For every php page I call, I re-run session_start() (I assume that is correct) but for some reason $x appears empty, when the numbers appear in the temporary file. Do I need to run something to obtain the data out of $x, or am I doing something wrong? Perhaps the requirement of using the global $x feature? I would run the latest version of PHP4 CVS tree but I can't seem to build it correctly (no visible errors) and it keeps on segfaulting (11). :( Yes, enable_track_vars is enabled. Thanks!
