 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      4.6.0
 Component:    base system
 Category:     bug reports
 Priority:     critical
 Assigned to:  bigeye
 Reported by:  bigeye
 Updated by:   chx
 Status:       patch (code needs review)

I fail to see why this is needed and where is the patch? I searched for
_VARS in Drupal HEAD, there is not a single instance of it, and
frankly, I doubt we have had any in a long time.

BUG:


Use valid user/passwd, kicked back to login page.
Use invalid user/passwd, kicked back to login page and saying Access
denied.


It appears that the first case is passed the login check, for some
reason, it cannot redirect to the correct page or the login info is not
stored.


It doesn't work with both IE and FireFox. We can see there is a cookie
there in FirFox. So it's not the cookie problem also.


FIX:


In settings.php add this satement:    ini_set('register_long_arrays',
1);
or modify this in php.ini globally:   register_long_arrays = On (the
default is off in PHP 5.0.4)


Woohoo!


Please add this into your hotfix. :)
