mod_userdir doesn't set environment variable DOCUMENT_ROOT

Description

1) Fresh install of lighttpd + mod_userdir enabled (tested on Ubuntu 10.04)
2) in a test php file

sudo aptitude install lighttpd && sudo lighty-enable-mod userdir cgi &&
mkdir ~/public_html && echo '<?php phpinfo(); ?>' >> ~/public_html/index.php &&
x-www-browser http://localhost/~`id -un`

Look for the 'Environment section' - DOCUMENT_ROOT. Provided I haven't gone mad, you'll notice that it's /var/www/ rather than /home/username/public_html/ .

This seems to fix it, though I don't know enough about lighty's source to know if it is the correct fix:
