Problem writing module

[Max Campos]

A few more things to try -

- Run the test harness in GDB and step through the code to see where 
it's hanging

- Run the test harness on a set of modules that are known to work & 
compare the results

- Try isolating which phase the hang is occurring in (maybe it's 
session?) by using pam_permit in all phases except the one you're 
testing.

- If you can't use GDB to debug, then maybe add some print/syslog 
statements to see what's happening?
