This seems to indicate that it was indeed the intend of the
implementor to use authname in the digest's username field and
consequently that this is a bug.

I have therefore filed a bug report for this now ...

let's see what the response will be and at the very least we will know
for sure what the intend of this actually is.

I wish I could just change this in the code myself but the code is
just so all over the place, I can't seem to get a grip on it and so I
don't know where to make changes. Then again, I am not really a
developer (or at least not anymore), so it may just be me. Mind you,
back in the day when I was doing this sort of thing, code looked much
more structured, much cleaner and an outside party was able to apply
simple fixes, like this one would seem to be.

I guess in another 20 years from now, it will require a PhD to change
a filename ;-)

anyway, thanks for your assistance.
