Friends,

I understand all what has been said, but it contradicts what is still in 
the TSREF manual:
http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/references/doc_core_tsref/4.2.0/view/1/14/#id4501321

With session-fixation, this feature doesn't work any longer.

In our case, it just unactivated our little online shop without any 
warning! Bad...

Shouldn't a session be locked as soon as some data of the form 
recs[table_name][uid_of_record] is posted?

Thanks.
Olivier
