[imp] Login (horde auth = 'imp') always returns "Login failed for some reason..."

[David Peoples]

Found this on the PHP 4.0.6 changelog:

  Made $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['foo'] and $foo be references to the 
  same value when register_globals is on. (Andrei)

(from http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-4.php)

So looks like you're bitten by a PHP 4.0.5 bug. Try setting register_globals 
off and/or install PHP 4.0.6.
