That doesn't make any sense.  A global's scope is global.  If your 
changes don't affect the variable in the global scope then it isn't a 
really a global is it?  I have a hard time believing that in 4.3.6 a) 
$_SESSION is not a global and/or b) the value of register_globals has 
any effect on the way unset() works.

I don't think that the PHP version or the state of register_globals is 
your problem, but you could check the change log to see what has changed 
between the two versions.
