Thanks for the report. This is good to know, because this proves I
must be doing something wrong, even though I can't figure out what. I
am not using ScriptAlias, but am using .htaccess with RewriteConds and
RewriteRule.

By the way, could you please check if $self->route_dbg works for you?

My one thought is -- perhaps I am not doing anything wrong, but that
it is my combination of various plugins. I recall (from a while back),
I think I had identified some clash between CAPRoutes and
CAPAuthentication, but it could be some other plug in well that seems
to redefine the runmodes.
