note 78390 added to ref.session

The following odd behavior happens in php version 5.1.4 (and
presumably some other versions) that does not happen in php
version 5.2.1 (and possibly other versions > 5.1.4).

<?php

$_SESSION['instance']=...;

$instance=new SomeClass;

?>

The second line will not only create the $instance object
successfully, it will also modify the value of
$_SESSION['instance']!

The workaround I arrived at, after trial and error, was to
avoid  using object names which match a $_SESSION array
key.

This is not intended to be a bug report, since it was
apparently fixed by version 5.2.1, so it's just a workaround
suggestion.
