    Subject: [PATCH] Remove r->user != NULL check from ap_process_request_internal
    
    After the check_user_id hook runs, Apache checks to make sure it's
    identified a user and aborts if this is not the case, to protect the
    auth_checker hook from accidental null pointer
    dereferences. Unfortunately, Scripts's mod_auth_optional relies on
    being able to have r->user still be NULL after check_user_id has run.
    
    This patch removes the null check. I believe this is safe because
    mod_auth_optional installs its auth_checker hook forcibly at the head
    of the hook chain, and said hook ends authz processing immediately if
    the directory in question has AuthOptional and no default user.
