authenticated user always "guest"

[David Halik]

It figures that after three hours of debugging, as soon as I send mail 
the problem is fixed. We actually use *two* htaccess files, and the 
second one in the cgi area was missing.  ;)
 
I did find a bug in config.inc.php which I'm upstreaming though.

Thanks anyways!
