[TYPO3-dev] Session Fixation "Feature" -> breaks Session Handling

Hi Martin,

I'm not entirely sure if I understood what you are trying to do but:

Are you trying to store something in a user session for users who are 
not logged in to the page?

If yes, your problem might be, that the last Typo3 update changed the 
behavior to generating a new session id for not logged in users on every 
  page load.

That means:
	visit frontpage -> new session id
	visit forum -> new session id
	visit news -> new session id
	read news -> new session id

This behavior is caused by the session fixation code as you have 
correctly identified. The session id only stays static for logged in users.


Maybe this info helps a bit.

Cheers,
Christopher
