Actually it's at the top of the main page that's hanging and it is
calling no other page when it hangs. Should I include
session_write_close() anyway?

We are not given permission to use ini_set() to make any local changes

Yeah I tried that, to no avail. We're not allowed to make changes via
ini_set(); I tried uploading php.ini but I am only given permission to
load onto either /htdocs or /cgi-bin, neither of which are secure nor
allow for the local php.ini to function; we are not allowed to write to
our own chroot.
