+PH/45 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the server's
+      challenges are checked to ensure they are valid base64 strings. By
+      default, the authentication attempt is cancelled if an invalid string is
+      received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
+      The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
+      they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the
+      challenges. If an invalid string is ignored, an empty string is placed in
+      the variable.

+PH/12 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the server

+PH/13 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the challenges
+      from the server are placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as they are received.
+      Thus, the challege that is received in response to sending the first
+      string (with the AUTH command) can be used in the expansion of the second
+      string, and so on. Currently, up to 3 challenge strings are available in
+      this way. If an invalid base64 string is received when client_ignore_
+      invalid_base64 is set, an empty string is put in the $auth<n> variable.
