[rt-users] Unprivileged users unable to authenticate?

Only log entries reflect a failed login...  Nothing more than that.  No 
db errors, nothing, and I've got RT set to debug log level.

Same thing is now happening on 3.2.2.  New users work just great, and 
not all of the preexisting users are affected.  The ones that are, 
however, are identical to the working ones, even on the DB level.  I've 
gone through and compared the user tables, etc for each one, and they 
line up perfectly.

One thought though, is there a limitation where the usernames must 
start with an alpha character?  These are numeric only, which is the 
only thing I can think might be throwing it.

It doesn't seem to be a priv. vs unpriv. issue either, since toggling 
that on and off for the affected users has no effect, either on the 
results or the log entries.

Could this be a mysql-related issue?  I'm not above upgrading THAT guy, 
either...
