Martin,

	I have not experience the issues you describe with HTTP-Authentication 
and have been running mod_gzip since really early versions.  I am using 
it with .htaccess based authentication however and not by sending the 
authentication headers through a CGI or PHP script. The log entry you 
describe reminds me of the one you get when trying to use mod_gzip 
through SSL (without the proper setup/workaround). 
	Could you give more specifics about which browsers you have tried and 
how you are sending the Authentication headers.  That would help someone 
reproduce the problem.
