xscreensaver with pam crashes

[lynx.abraxas at freenet.de]

Hallo!


Since  the  version 4.22 of xscreensaver, I cannot use any German character in
my passwords any more eg. '§'. When I had changed my password to have just 127
ASCII  chars  I  noticed  xscreensaver  crashes  with any password and with it
unlocks the screen. gdb suggest it has something to do with my pam:

(gdb) run -sync -verbose -no-capture
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/xscreensaver -sync -verbose -no-capture
xscreensaver: 21:34:44: grabbing server...
.

.

        in support.c

In modules/pam_unix/support.c at line 829 is no reference to any file:
    new->count = old->count + 1;

Can anybody tell me, what I could do about it?
I have an LFS here, and everywhere else pam is working nicely.

Thanks
