slow session_start()

Hi,

I am getting 4-5 minute delays when I call the session_start() function 
in one of my scripts, I reduced it to a small script that just echoes 
some html, but still calling session_start() causes a major delay. My 
/tmp directory is almost empty and there is a lot of disk space. It's an 
AMD Athlon(TM) XP 3000+ with a Gig of RAM. Anyone knows what could cause 
this?

<?php

session_start();

echo "<html>\n";
echo "<body>\n";
echo "<h3>we are here</h3>\n";
echo "</body>\n";
echo "</html>\n";

?>

I am using the PHP (4.3.2) shipped with RHEL. Does RH backport fixes 
from the newer versions of PHP to their packages? Can this be the cause 
of the slowdowns I am experiencing when calling session_start()? 
Yesterday, when I was setting this site up, everything was working 
great, today it's dog slow.

Thanks for any pointers.

Arshavir
