Apache AuthBasic

I have a website with one particular folder I want to secure. I have setup SSL and Apache AuthBasic for that folder and all subfiles. My question is: does anyone know of any vulnerabilities or ways to crack/circumvent AuthBasic? So far, the only method I've found of breaking authBasic is to sniff the traffic to lift the username/password, but I've tested that with the SSL and the username/password combo is passed after SSL has already been established. It is very important that this folder be as secure as I can make it. Obviously, just being available on the web at all reduces the overall security significantly, but I don't have a choice there. :-) Thanks for your help.
