When editing the administration pages for http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/9350, I 
noticed that some admin pages call
     Horde::fatal('Forbidden.', __FILE__, __LINE__)
which presents the user a white screen with an error message while most admin 
pages would call 
     Horde::authenticationFailureRedirect();

I don't understand what are the reasons for the different implementations. On 
the channel I was advised not to patch the Horde::fatal calls to 
authenticationFailure
