I think that some scripts (e.g. redirect.php, index.php) hardcode the 
session id in the URL because cookies may not be available - since the 
session ID has not been internally stored via PHP yet (you haven't logged 
in, for example) they need to be propogated somehow.

Then again, I could be completely wrong... I don't have the source code 
handy right now.
