Bug description:  session_start() sending a cookie every time

Description:
------------
The session_start() function seems to be sending the session cookie to the
browser every time, even if the browser has already got a cookie and has
submitted it to the script.

This, along with being a pretty pointless thing to do, also makes it
imposible to delete a session cookie after the session_start() has been
called as all the browsers I have tried this with seem to ignore a request
to delete a cookie if the same cookie has been set before hand in the same
request.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
session_start();
?>

Expected result:
----------------
The cookie would be sent to the browser the first time you run the script
but all following requests should not send a cookie to the browser because
it has already got it.

Actual result:
--------------
A cookie is sent to the browser one every request for the page.
