No error.

Tried that, same behavior (login screen displays again).

I'll have to figure out how to get rt to dump logs or debug logs.  
Right now, I don't see that rt is logging anything.

access_log provided an interesting clue:
127.0.0.1 - - [31/Dec/2003:09:25:50 -0500] "user=root&pass=passwordGET 
/favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 501 392

I never saw CGI parameters appear *before* GET like this.  Looks wrong. 
  And indeed:

error_log is not happy about that either:

$ perldoc -m Digest::MD5 | grep 'VERSION ='
$VERSION = '2.33';  # $Date: 2003/12/07 08:40:18 $

On Mac OS X:  Safari 1.0, IE 5.5, NS 7.  Same behavior for each browser.

Yes, the cookie is there.
