That is what I was referring to. For a public(!) beta test it is just a 
no-go when the installation instructions are wrong. Then came the return 
code for "unknown user" (different that the old server, and so not 
displayed by the client), and then the 500-issue. Quite a build-up for 
something with installation instructions of "run this patch and enter 
your OSM credentials"...

not sure as I can only create so many test accounts on the OSM server...

Nothing weird, my display name is just "Henry Loenwind" ;-)

However, I'm a Software Architect, and I get to review source code every 
day. With time, you'll get to know types of bugs, and I assure you, the 
type "I assumed I could re-use that return value without checking it at 
all" is one of the worst*...

in a local variable, and a global variable, and an object property, and 
in the state database was worse.
