php4 session problem

[Yohann Fourteau]

Hi,

I use imp 2.3.7-cvs (the last version with scope in sql preference
base).

The login doesn't work at all :
The form appears only one time, after if I try to login and to go back
to the login form page that the page is "locked" and I can't have access
to the login form again. 
I have modify login.php and index.php in the imp directory to know where
it locks.
It's the session_start() call who locks all the pages.
If I try that simple page :
-------8<--------
<?
session_name("Horde");
session_start();
?>
------->8--------
It locks...
I must shutdown my netscape and that simple page works normaly again. I
attempt to login into imp and the simple page doesn't work any more.

When I sniff the network, the apache server answers just one packet and
let the connexion open, so my browser waits for him and it locks...

In the /tmp/sess_80e5ec7f08397006a507e8ffe9f09c2c :

I don't understand, normaly php4 session works very well but here...

I have php4.0.4pl1
       horde version CVS (version of tonight)
       imp version CVS (version of tonight)
       apache 1.3.14
on a Linux 2.2.18 Debian/Sid

I've read the mailing list, I saw that one person have the same problem
(in a mail from the begining of the month : [imp] Can't get past the
login screen). But I haven't found the solution...

Thanks for your work !
