What's the possibility of including the returned auth type on or about line 389 of functions/post.c in 3.0.3?

I know I've been having quite a few users lately complaining about "invalid auth type" cropping up.  I've just pulled packet traces between apache's auth and the manually coded one in php.  The only difference I've found so far is that the features section of the manual uses "401 Unauthorized" whereas apache 1.3.1 uses "401 Authentication Required".  I realize that the numerical code is the only thing that has real meaning but I'm wondering why folks keep having problems.

Oh well, just another feature req that could help in debugging problems.
