You already posted that in an earlier message.  There's no need to repeat it 
only a few moments later because the thread forked.

As for "standalone program", remember that there is only one session for the 
entire PHP process, and it gets saved only once.  If phpFreeChat is using the 
session it may be doing its own session starting and closing and saving, or at 
least trying to.  If so, it would not surprise me at all if that collides with 
Drupal.
