Bug description:  session-hijacking

Description:
------------
Hi !

I have an "phaenomen" which is so fantastic that I cannot believe it.
General setup:
one Domain using sessions (with name "abcsession") running under
"www.abconline.de"
another domain for testing (also with name "abcsession") running under
"dev.abconline.de"

under some circumstances, stored sessiondata will be changed and i can
found data in $_SESSION, which i have never stored. An important fact
seems to be, that both domains have the same top-level domain on the same
machine (physically two different systems - one for development and
testing) - another important fact is a not found image.

It is definitely a php problem. 
Here is an test-url: http://dev.abconline.de/test/start.php4
after every Refresh the Session-Var changes !! (try it :-)
and if I type the contents of the file in which the session-data is stored
(/tmp/sess_xxxxx) there are variables, I have never stored. 

I have documented more Infos in the sample scripts.

I know it sounds really fantastic - after a few years of php-development I
have never seen anything like this....

Regards,
Sebastian





Reproduce code:
---------------
---- start.php4 ----
<?
session_name('abcsession');
session_start();
$_SESSION['s_valid_register']=642536304;
?>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="0;URL=second.php4">
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
redirect to next page!
</BODY>
</HTML>

---- second.php4 ----
<?
session_name('abcsession');
session_start();

echo "Session: ".$_SESSION['s_valid_register']."<BR>";

echo '<img src="not-found-image.gif">';
echo "<BR>";
echo "session-id: ".session_id()."<BR>";
?>
<BR>
now refresh (f5) an see whats happening with the session var !!!<BR><BR>
I took a look into my session-file - there were a lot of more vars in
there<BR>
i cannot explain from where the vars are...!? - look at the
session-file<BR><BR>
[....]
Session-Data:<BR>
<?
while (list($key, $value)=each($_SESSION))
        echo $key."=".$value."<BR>";
?>




Expected result:
----------------
the session-var 's_valid_register' must have after every refresh the same
value. only one var (s_valid_register) should be stored in the
session-data-file (/tmp/sess_xxx), but it is not the only one !

Actual result:
--------------
after every refresh the value changes. hijacked data in the session.
