 I just installed wpmu and created a blog/user of the form
 "firstname.lastname", but the resulting blog did not display correctly.
 After investigating I realised that the .htaccess is the key to the blog
 URLs working.

 RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
 RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]

 don't include "." in. Changing it to the following, fixed it in my case,
 but I imagine there are many many more missing. that class should really
 include all charcters valid in a URL part.

 RewriteRule  ^([._0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
 RewriteRule  ^([._0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
