I'm running the following script under PHP 4.4.2 in safe-mode:

<?php
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="some realm"');
header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
exit('The realm is supposed to be "some realm"');
?>

When accessing it, I get the following headers from the server:

RESPONSE: HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required
Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2006 13:23:15 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.xx (Unix) PHP/4.4.2 mod_ssl/2.8.yy
OpenSSL/0.9.7zzzz
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.2
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="1125"
[...]

The "1125" is probably the script UID, but this should have been added
to "some realm", not replaced it. Can anyone shed any light on this? Is
this a bug in my PHP engine?

Some details from phpinfo() are attached below.
