    Fix contributed by Jeffrey C. Ollie.
    
    I haven't tested the fix because the situation is non-trivial to
    reproduce.
    
    The basic solution is to get rid of the __current_realm attribute of
    authentication handlers.  Instead, prevent infinite retries by
    checking for the presence of an Authenticate: header in the request
    object that exactly matches the Authenticate: header that would be
    added.
    
    The problem prevent authentication from working correctly in the
    presence of retries.
    
    Ollie mentioned that digest authentication has the same problem and I
    applied the same solution there.
