Username disappears using sign-up server

[Richard Siddall]

Hello,

I'm trying to get Freeside's sign-up server working before integrating it with our
existing online sign-up script.

The Freeside machine is running Redhat 7.2, Perl 5.6.1, and Freeside 1.4.1beta4.
(Saw the same behavior with beta3.)

When I use the sign-up CGI on the sign-up machine, I get the following error:
Error: Illegal username (error code illegal_username) (2-12): 

Looking at the debug output on the Freeside machine, I get:

So, it looks like the username is making it across to the Freeside machine and
then getting overwritten with an empty string before it is validated, resulting
in a correct report that the empty name is not in the required range.

Anyone come across this before?  Any hints would be appreciated.
