Thanks for your help! Zend_Session::isStarted() seems to do the trick.
Its a bit unfortunate though that it does not appear in the Reference Guide.
And although I understand the logic behind sessionExists(), I think lots of
other developers might make the same mistake of expecting sessionExists() to
work straight away from the first request.
Cheers,
Antonio
