Sean,
From your php error_log, it's saying the following:
Failed to write session data (user)
which sounds like it's having problems writing to the user-defined
session handler. Are you using a user-defined session handler? If not,
make sure your php.ini file has:
session.save_handler = files
And *NOT*:
session.save_handler = user
That will make a big difference.

I'm using 4.0.6. I believe session handling was added as part of
standard 4.x, right (if configured to compile it)?
Some more info: I tried with Konqueror, as I know a cookie needs to be
sent during the session_start() phase - I did get a dialog pop-up asking
if I wanted to accept the cookie, but I still got the error:
Fatal error: Failed to initialize session module in
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/sesstest.php on line 2
It says line 2 because I deleted some white space and commented out code
thas was before session_start().
I set logging errors on, and sent it to syslog. Here's what it says: Dec
29 12:12:57 free httpd: PHP Fatal error: Failed to initialize session
module in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/sesstest.php on line 2 Dec 29
12:12:57 free httpd: PHP Warning: Failed to write session data (user).
Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct
(/tmp) in Unknown on line 0
But /tmp exists, and is world writeable:
free# ls -ld /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 16 root wheel 1024 Dec 29 12:14 /tmp
