If you actually do want to act as the user you are loading, it is essential to call

 session_save_session(FALSE);

first. See Safely impersonating another user for more information.

session_save_session() doesn't exist in d7.

Yep, this is a true story. A grep confirms this is the last place session_save_session is referenced in D7.

That'll do it. This patch can be committed to 7 since it's just a doc fix, right?
