Auth package bugs

Hello all, I didn't see any reaction on my previous message so let me try again. I noticed some problems with PEAR Auth package. Here they are: 1. (See my email below). I still don't see any reaction. But that is obviously a bug. 2. I found a very troublesome problem with installation of Auth package on old PHP (4.3.3). (Newer PHP versions haven't this problem.) PEAR installer fails because of the file named .tmpusers (it has zero length - is this file really needed?). When I unzip the archive, add some characters to this file, delete appropriate md5 attribute in package XML and zip all this back - installation goes fine. What is working wrong: old PHP, PEAR installer, or that is a problem of Auth package?
