Hello, All:
To respond to Christophe's report that var_dump() is broken: If you replace
the var_dump() line with...
<?php
// Replace var_dump() with...
start_session();
$_SESSION = $row;
?>
...apache/mysql/php exhibits the same behavior: All of apache's children
processes die. i.e., The problem not only seems to be with var_dump() but
*also* with...
A. The array returned by mysql_fetch_array(), or
B. The process of copying that array into the $_SESSION array.
(The technique of copying the entire record into the $_SESSION variable has
worked in the past on different architectures...)

var_dump is broken.
print_r is a nice alternative:
