 Here is my .htaccess in wp-admin
 AuthName "Restricted Area"
 AuthType Basic
 AuthUserFile /somewhere/over./the/rainbow/.htpasswd
 AuthGroupFile /dev/null
 require valid-user

 If I rename .htaccess to a.htaccess, in order to disable it, works just
 fine all over again.

 My server logs show an http 401 error on:
 /wp-admin/page-new.php Safari
 /wp-admin/async-upload.php Flash

 So, seems to me, user/pass credentials are not getting past Flash, and it
 is breaking.
