Title:
  user and account application passwd crashes

Status in “shadow” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  In a fresh installation of Ubuntu 11.04 certain inputs for the
  changing the password from the administrative tools result in a
  premature termination of the spawned "passwd" program that's forked to
  handle the change.

  It seems to trigger on certain input cases. It might be the case that
  'passwd' is rejecting a change and the controlling script is failing
  to handle the error condition.
