Unable to start session: session has already been started (no replies)

Hi, I am running the latest version of Piwik (2.5.0) and whenever I want to enter Piwik's dashboard, I get this error message:

WARN Piwik\Session[2014-08-18 08:39:31] [00f18] Unable to start session: session has already been started by session.auto-start or session_start()
Debug: the original error was session has already been started by session.auto-start or session_start()

I have searched for this error and I think, I can pinpoint it to my usage of the Ninja Web Application Firewall. There seems to be a solution to the problem shown on the WordPress forums http://wordpress.org/support/topic/piwik-blocked/, which basically suggests to replace

session_start()

with

if (! session_id() ) { session_start(); }

As it is not that easy (and not at all wise, IMHO) to change core-files - is there another way to make Piwik work again with the Web Application Firewall installed?
