known bugs

Ok, there is a known bug with postgres, and probably new mysql installs 
as well, when you either create or the first new user tries to create 
an account.  I have to verify if this is a problem with new mysql 
installs yet, but at least on postgres, you need to try the account 
again, and on the second try it works.  Ie. if you hit back and 
re-submit, it works.

You can either grab the latest newuser.php from CVS or apply the 
following patch to newuser.php to get the fix:

          $query   .= "('$id','" . addslashes(htmlspecialchars($rname))
