[wp-testers] permalink issues with beta2 (revision 3195) and apache 1.33

[Jeff Billimek]

I'm running apache 1.33 on my hosting provider and did a fresh install of
beta2 (revision 3195).  Using the default configuration, the index and
permalink pages display correctly.

As soon as I change the permalink structure to something else (like 'Date
and name based' - /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/), the main index page
as well as any other permalink page will deliver the generic 404 error page.
This is using the default theme and no plugins.

I did verify that the .htaccess file is getting written to.  The contents of
that file is:

-[u35509784 at infong362]--<08:39am:Tue Nov 22>-
-(0:~/html/test)-: cat .htaccess
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /test/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /test/index.php
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

In addition, I attempted to modify the .htaccess to a configuration that I
understood worked bettwe with apache 1.33:

-[u35509784 at infong362]--<09:52am:Tue Nov 22>-
-(0:~/html/test)-: cat .htaccess
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /test/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /test/index.php/$1
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

... and the behavior did not change.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
