[horde] Login/session problems with Horde 3, IMP4, & PHP 5.3

[Leonardo Boiko]

By the way, my conf.php includes these:

$conf['session']['name'] = 'Horde';
$conf['session']['use_only_cookies'] = false;
$conf['session']['cache_limiter'] = 'nocache';
$conf['session']['timeout'] = 0;
$conf['sessionhandler']['type'] = 'none';
$conf['sessionhandler']['memcache'] = false;

setting use_only_cookies doesn't fix it.
