I have put this patch on my list of things to consider, and will look at
it when it gets to the top. With any luck, this will be later this week.
One thing you should know is that there has been a new invention of
variables called $auth1 - $auth3 which can be used instead of $1 - $3 in
authentication server configurations. This was done because the
numerical variables can get reset in certain complicated expansions.

If I like this patch, I think the data should end up in $auth1, $auth2,
etc rather than $0, $1, etc.
