Try commenting out these lines of login.php3:

/*
if(isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['username'])) { // this would be present if a login is in progress
      $auth->auth["uid"]= "form"; // this is what auth seems to want
      $auth->start();
}
*/

They are only needed to kludge a way for the loginblock form to work with 
the current phplib auth.  We should be able to set another variable to 
check instead of username if it works for you too.
