[imp] Serious Bug In Imp 3.0 RC3?

[Chuck Hagenbuch]

Quoting Lee Hoffman <lee_hoffman@brown.edu>:

> I just launched horde/imp 3.0 (on a debian 2.2r/apache/php 4.1.0 box) in

Not really. It _might_ be a PHP 4.1.0 issue, but I haven't had any problems 
with the CVS version. There are large installations running with the IMP 3 
code, so I'd think one of them would have hit this if it was a general problem.

Restarting Apache doesn't actually get rid of any session information, btw - 
you might want to see if clearing all sessions (they're in temp/sess_* if 
you're using the default session handler) has any effect.
