Ulrich,
I believe I have found a cross-platform flaw in glibc 2.0.99. On
linuxppc running linux 2.1.125 with glibc 2.0.99 compiled with
egcs_1_1_branch cvs of this week I am finding the following problem
with linuxconf 1.3r1. While linuxconf runs correctly in general if
one attempts to change the password of a user from it the following
error messages appear in /var/log/messages each time...

Tom Rini has verified the same behavior on Intel linux under glibc 2.0.99.
Could you look into this one?
