found 501719 2.4.8-3 thanks Hi Martin!
Thank you for the explanation about the differences between the AnonUser and AnonDirName variables: however, this bug has nothing to do with those variables and thus I reopened it. Now, some comments...

This is not a bug.

While I agree that having two separated variables give more flexibility, this is per se a bug, since it's not documented. But this would be another bug and, again, it has nothing to do with the subject. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
