Bug description:  PHP_AUTH_PW and  PHP_AUTH_USER are being exposed

Description:
------------
PHP_AUTH_PW and PHP_AUTH_USER are exposed to other scripts running in a
shared host environment.

Reproduce code:
---------------
user1 has a PHP web page http://www.example.com/~user1 that uses external
authentication via Apache basic authentication.

/home/user1/public_html/.htaccess

AuthType Basic
AuthName "This is a test"
AuthUserfile /home/user1/public_html/.htpasswd
Require valid-user

user2 has a PHP page http://www.example.com/~user2 that prints out
$_SERVER

A user visits http://www.example.com/~user1 (No trailing slash) and enters
their username/password entered in popup window.

The user then visits http://www.example.com/~user2.  Their password is
then exposed to this script.

This does not happen if the URL of the page asking for authentication has
an appended slash. Eg. http://www.example.com/~user/.




Expected result:
----------------
PHP_AUTH_USER and PHP_AUTH_PW should not be exposed to other users scripts
on a shared host. 

Actual result:
--------------
PHP_AUTH_USER and PHP_AUTH_PW are exposed to script even when safe_mode is
enabled.
