Description:
------------
When I add a comment to a bug on bugs.php.net I get this response:


Authentication failed: Incorrect username
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/Web/sites/php-bugs-web/include/auth.inc:30) in /home/Web/sites/php-bugs-web/bug.php on line 232


The comment is added to the bug report though and does end up on the php.bugs mailing list.



Also, after I submitted this bug I got messages saying "Authentication failed: Incorrect username Authentication failed: Incorrect username" at the top of the page and below the yellow box that shows other related bugs.

Which .php.net cookies do you have?
This should only happen when doing magical developers authentication, in which case developers should be warned if authentication failed..

The only php.net cookies I have at this point according to Firefox are

COUNTRY

LAST_LANG

PHPSESSID

Sorry, but I didn't get a list of cookies when I originally encountered the problem.

I didn't get any error when submitting my last update BTW.

Uhhh... We don't use sessions, you shouldn't have that cookie at all.

It's definitely being sent by bug.php

Indeed :)

Anyway, I've committed a patch that hopefully fixes that invalid authentication warning
