Thanks for the report.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to fix
this.  Here's the problem page :

   http://www.netbeans.org/download/source_browse.html

Note this is in download/ - this is a special directory which
is not served by SourceCast, the app that runs nb.org.  Hence
content here is static, plain html, and does not have access
to the same environment variables that pages served by SourceCast
do.  So that page can't "see" the user's login status.

Note that once you pick a project to browse, you jump out of the
download/ dir, and everything works as normal, eg :

   http://www.netbeans.org/source/browse/a11y/

I'll look around, but I can't see any way around this ...  
Inelegant soloution - simply remove the login box completely
from that page.  Maybe better to have no info than wrong info ?
What do you think ?
