Me neither.  I have had this problem for several months.  I'm using
dev-perl/DBD-mysql-3.0004, perl 5.8.8, Mysql 5.0.19, FastCGI, apache 2.0.58.
My workaround is to use Apache auth instead:

Set($WebExternalAuth , '1');
Set($WebFallbackToInternalAuth , '1');
Set($WebExternalGecos , undef);
Set($WebExternalAuto , '1');

It would be nice to fix the problem (it's cookie-related) but I haven't
been able to so far.
