When I ported the save handler, I think I made sure it returns string always for successful cases. I'll have a look shortly.

@akauffman, could you give info where did you get the memeached module source code? Just making sure to get the same code.

Description:
------------
There seems to be a type casting problem with custom session handlers (specifically the memcached module) when session_regenerate_id() is called.  Perhaps related to a null return value.  It looks like it was introduced around 7RC3.

Error:
PHP message: PHP Catchable fatal error:  session_regenerate_id(): Failed to create(read) session ID: user

Test script:
---------------
Problem:
<?php
set_ini('session.save_handler','memcached');
set_ini('session.save_path','host1:11211');

session_start();
$_SESSION['value'] = session_id();
session_regenerate_id();
?>

Work around:
<?php
set_ini('session.save_handler','memcached');
set_ini('session.save_path','host1:11211');

class MemcachedSession extends SessionHandler
{
        public function read($session_id) {
                return (string)parent::read($session_id);
        }
}

$sess = new MemcachedSession();
session_set_save_handler($sess, true);

session_start();
$_SESSION['value'] = session_id();
session_regenerate_id();
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Shouldn't have to implement a workaround.
