both.
I investigated this a bit further:
with php 4.1.2 (windows) I can't login in the BE of TYPO3 since version 3.8.x.
If I set var $challengeStoredInCookie to FALSE in class t3lib_beuserauth I am 
able to login in version 3.8.1 (where everything seems to work) and also in 
version 4.0. But in TYPO3 version 4.0 the extentension manager gives me 
an "internal server error" (php memory is set to 64 MB) 
possibly related to this bug:
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=3069

but this all seems not to be related to your patch ;-)

yes.
is some else running TYPO3 4.0 on f.e. debian woody with php 4.1.2 ?


Now to your patch. I did a kind of unit test for the function getHostname() on 
the php 4.1.2 installation and can confirm that it always returns a correct 
FQDN so I think we can assume that it works on newer PHP versions, too.

+1
