[sork] Horde hangs after changing password (passwd 4.0.0alpha1)

I applied the patch on
http://git.horde.org/horde-git/-/commit/60c7d1fe1d8338c512cf02ceeb2bcd61b8e8e44e#diff-1
,
with no luck so far.

What happens is the following:
 * User accesses the Passwd screen;
 * User types old password and two matching new passwords;
 * Horde/IMP correctly changes the password in the LDAP database (in my
case, I'm using a hook script to do so);
 * Page refreshes and the notification "Password changed on LOCATION." is
shown;
 * The sidebar does not get loaded anymore, and all the menu elements from
the upper menu (on Traditional mode) disappear, aside from "Password",
"Problem", "Help" and "Log Out". So, essentially, the only option left for
the user is to either change his password again, or log out;
 * If the user clicks "Log Out", the page enters an endless refresh loop;
 * The only solution I've found so far is to erase browser cache, including
cookies, and login again with the new, changed, password.

Thanks a lot for your help Jan (and others from the ticket thread). If
there's any further information I can provide, I'll be happy to do so.

Regards,
fbscarel
