It's the standard session handler with a custom session_save_path being set.
Oddly, the problems go away if I use the standard save path. However
this isn't a practical option for this app as the developers hard-coded
the save path into pretty much every file in the (rather large)
application rather than, I dunno, using an include or something logical.
I considered grepping this out, but I can see this ending in tears as
the app is large, old and complex. I'd rather restrict my changes to the
section in question rather than making wholesale changes to the app and
then being responsible for whatever goes wrong.
I checked out those PHP bugs you mentioned earlier - hard to say if
these are what is causing the problem or not. I also read some posts
saying that flock doesn't work on some NFS filesystems. I have no idea
if this server is running NFS or not (assuming I need shell access to be
able to find out), but it would make sense if this previously-reliable
script suddenly broke when the host upgraded their storage systems.
So for now the best I have been able to come up with is this...
<iframe src="file1.php?delay=500" ></iframe>
<iframe src="file2.php?delay=1500" ></iframe>
<iframe src="file3.php?delay=2500" ></iframe>
The delay variable is used to have a little sleep just before calling
session_start() - basically forcing the iframes to load in series (which
in my case, they aren't doing naturally). This isn't a fantastic
solution in a number of senses, but it's also the best I have after 8+
hours and there comes a point when one must admit defeat and accept the
dirty-hack solution as preferable to working for McWages and upsetting
every other client by delaying their work. I just reached that point.
Thanks for your help on this Tim + others, your wisdom made it a lot
easier to understand what was happening here.

Are you using the default files session handler, or is there a custom
one auto_prepended or otherwise installed? Maybe it's not implementing
destroy properly.
