FreeLists / dokuwiki / [dokuwiki] Session variables being reset?

[Raam Dev <raamdev@xxxxxxxxx>]

On test.php I have the following:

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['myvar'] = "abc123";
?>

Then, from anywhere within DokuWiki, for example at the top of 
/lib/tpl/default/main.php, I add the following:
session_start();  // tried with and without this line
echo $_SESSION['myvar'];

The session variable appears to be empty and does not echo "abc123". 
However, if I add the following to main.php:
session_start();
$_SESSION['myvar'] = "abc123";
echo $_SESSION['myvar'];

everything works as expected. Why wouldn't the session variables carry 
over when they're set on a page outside DokuWiki? Am I missing something?
Thanks!
Raam
