This often happens if you have configured your browser to decline cookies 
and the server does not check whether or not the browser has acccepted the 
cookie. Because it does not see a cookie, the server assumes you have not 
logged in yet and sends another HTTP auth challenge. The browser has cached 
the password and will automatically respond, logging you in again and 
again.

If this is the cause, please file a bug against Trac as well ;)
