The CI's native session library was working quite fine for me until recently, no matter what I do it just breaks if I store a tiny bit of data. Still after 5 years we encountered SAME issue in a new project again.
Hence I wrote a simple wrapper that is almost identical to CI's Session Library, but uses PHP's tested and proven native Sessions. It also provides the flash data functionality.
Just put 'Xession.php' in your CI/application/libraries
