[Moin-user] Problems with Login

With MoinMoin Version 1.1 [Revision 1.173] and Apache/1.3.26  it looks
like this:

If you take a non-WikiName for apache passwd you can work as usual in
MoinMoin with the cookies. Login and logout in MoinMoin is no problem.

If you take a WikiName for passwd and there is an identical
MoinMoin-Account you are logged in with this account without any cookie.
You even can not logout at all. This is usually a good thing for
intranet-wikis.

I don't have the trouble Christopher has. No idea why.
