Ah, the base64.encodestring() includes a "\n" at the end of the output.
In the version below, I strip it off.  I've tested this with the current
firmware version, and the "good" case works, while the "bad" case
triggers the Linksys bug.

import socket
import base64

for demo in ("good", "bad"):

     request_line = "GET /Status.htm HTTP/1.0\r\n"
     auth_header = ("Authorization: Basic %s\r\n" %
             base64.encodestring(":admin").strip())

     s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
     s.connect(("192.168.1.1", 80))

     if demo == "good":
         s.send(request_line + auth_header + "\r\n")
     else:
         s.send(request_line)
         s.send(auth_header + "\r\n")

     s.shutdown(1)
     print s.recv(99999)
     s.close()
     print "\n\n\n\n"
