all this session talk thought id throw out a question ...

a long time ago someone made a plugin-like feature for tomcat java server
which allowed for something like a reissue of a session id in which it
merged together contents from one session content (the hard file) into a new
session key.  it was something like:

session.reissue();
session.reissue(int); // tell it when to reissue after x transactions
(default 1)

it was mainly a security idea to prevent hijacking over time.

does session_regenerate_id() perform these same type of functions w/ a
transaction count?  and is there anything new in php5 pertaining to this?
