[TYPO3] system update - what would you recommend

[H. Hahn]

Dear mr. Dmitry,

Sorry, I was incomplete. The session_start() function may require 
certain parameters to be defined before. After all, it was called on 
line 202, so Typo3 should have had plenty of time to initialise such 
variables. The way it did so in Typu3 4.0.5 was such that it did not 
cause problems in PHP 4.x and 5.0.5 (or so). In PHP 5.2.6 it seems to be 
no longer accepted. And so is the way (the same way??) Typo3 4.2.1 does it.
So my assumption that it is likely not a Typo3 error, may not 
necessarily be correct.
Could it possibly be an incompatibility between both Typo3 4.0.5 and 
Typo3 4.2.1 on one hand, and PHP 5.2.6 on the other hand?
In other words, may PHP 5.2.6. have special requirements for 
session_start() and/or parameters that must be set before this function 
is called? If this is the case, other people must surely have had 
similar problems!
