Solution:
Ensure that $bbuserid, $bbpassword, and the rest of the cookied variables
are coming from the cookie and not from GET or POST data, by using the
$HTTP_COOKIE array.

Unfortunately, this is nothing more than a workaround too. It's trivial to
create your own cookie jar with the appropriate data.
