Well, I don't think it's very uncommon to use the email address as username
to login. As far as I understood, the 2 lines of code are for removing the
realm... ?
When I login with "user" the complete user would be "user at realm", when I
login with "user at domain", the user would be "user at domain@realm"... in both
cases, the calculated user id would be "user" which isn't correct.

Nope, but I will use this instead of patching... thx.
