Odd - works for me (just tried it). By not working, I assume you mean the
file is not being included, but you get no error. First, check that apache
is truly reading the .htaccess file by putting a syntax error in it - if it
is being read you should get a 500 Server error when you try to hit a page
in the directory where the .htaccess file is.
