Thanks Jan.  If it doesn't then I am not sure why the above change  
fixes the problem.  All I removed were there instructions above.   
Basically, I was clearing the values of the two server variables  
before apache runs the PHP script.  If I put them back, it stops  
authenticating, gets a 401 and I see no IMAP authentication happen.   
If I remove them, it works.
