This suggests that you're using a very recent build of Solaris 9 (or
very recent Sun patches).  And the segfault suggests that it's also
somewhat buggy. :-)

I'll proceed with debugging this problem communicating with you via
private e-mail, and I hope that I'll be able to put in a workaround
for this version of Solaris into pam_passwdqc as a result.

Thanks,
