Uh, how ugly. This has never been supported intentionally.
Looks like a result of multiple people modifying code and not
talking to each other.
Note that the docs for session_register are out of date. It
is supposed to mean "register a slot in the session domain".
The global variable scope is only included in that domain, if
register_globals is enabled.

I've verified that this works in the 4.2 tree. I'll update
the patch to include a change to get_session_var. Sigh.
