[Chameleon] Interference with PHP's Garbage Collection

[Julien-Samuel Lacroix]

Hi,

Are you on Windows or Linux?

Here's the garbage collection function. Do you see any problem in it? 
First thing can be to set bDebug to true  and the szDebugDir at the top 
of chameleon/htdocs/common/session/session.php

/**
  * _gc Called by PHP session manager when a session is started or
  * register (not all the time) depending og session.gc_probability
  */
function _gc($nMaxLifeTime)
{
    if ($GLOBALS["bDebug"])
     {
       debug_msg("_gc called");
     }
     if ($GLOBALS['gszGarbageColectionCallBackFunction'] != "")
     {
         if 
(function_exists($GLOBALS['gszGarbageColectionCallBackFunction']))
             eval($GLOBALS['gszGarbageColectionCallBackFunction']);
     }

     if ( !(PHP_OS == "WINNT" || PHP_OS == "WIN32") )
     {
       @touch($GLOBALS['gszSessSavePath']."/deleteme", 
time()-$nMaxLifeTime*60);
       system("find ".$GLOBALS['gszSessSavePath']." -name sess_* ! -newer ".
              $GLOBALS['gszSessSavePath']."/deleteme -exec rm -rf {} \; ");

       return true;
     }

     $bReturn = true;

     if (!$hDir = @opendir($GLOBALS['gszSessSavePath']))
     {
         return false;
     }

     while($szFile = readdir($hDir))
     {
         if (!strstr($szFile,'sess_'))
             continue;

         if (strpos($szFile,'sess_') != 0)
             continue;

         $szSessionDir = $GLOBALS['gszSessSavePath']."/".$szFile;
         $szSessionFile = $szSessionDir."/session_file";

         if (!($mtime = @filemtime($szSessionFile)))
         {
             $bReturn=false;
             continue;
         }

         if (time() > $mtime + $nMaxLifeTime)
         {
             $bReturn = (deleteDirectory($szSessionDir)) ? $bReturn : false;
         }
         closedir($hDir);

         return $bReturn;
     }
}
