[pmwiki-users] field admin permissions oddness

Hi,
<?php $Version="pmwiki-2.1.26"; $VersionNum=2001026;
Within a wiki farm, when I successfully log-in to a field (via
authuser), then navigate to another field, the user remains logged in
but is retaining the rights given by the original field.
Remaining logged in is good, but the rights should not follow, as I
understand it.
Then, when I navigate back to the original field, where I logged in, the
user has been logged out. This shouldn't happen (and doesn't happen on
other wikis in the farm).
However, when I return to the second field, I am still logged in (with
the user name used at login).
The logged in user retains the rights to any groups that share the same
name between the two fields. The obvious problem being the admin group.
I spotted this on an existing farm, so to test it, I created a new field
and the new field exhibits this behaviour.
I've tried a variety of different users.
I've probably badly misunderstood something, but PmWiki.WikiFarms/Why
use a farm? says:
From a reader's point of view, each wiki in a farm is completely
independent, and appears as a separate web site. Each wiki in a farm:
<snip>
* can have its own administrator responsible for local configuration
The farm has no home wiki - /pmwiki/wikilib.d only contains the default
Pmwiki and Site groups. In all other ways, behaviour is normal.
