ScriptAliasMatch fails with tilde in pattern

           Summary: ScriptAliasMatch fails with tilde in pattern
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: 1.3.23
          Platform: PC
               URL: https://secure.maiatech.com/~guru/printenv
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_vhost_alias
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: carl@maiatech.com


When using ScriptAliasMatch to create user cgi directories, the followign 
directive used to work under 1.3.14:

ScriptAliasMatch ^/~([a-z0-9]+)/cgi/(.*)  /home/$1/cgi/$2

However, after upgrading to 1.3.22 (RedHat RPM) this no longer works. 
Scripts fail with a (13) Permission Denied error in the log file.

Taking the tilde out of the pattern allows it to work, but aliased to simply /
username/cgi/, rather than /~username/cgi/

for example:
https://secure.maiatech.com/~guru/printenv DOES NOT WORK

while

https://secure.maiatech.com/guru/printenv DOES WORK
