Hi

This release contains a tiny bug that causes `passwd' to segfault in my
non-PAM builds. I take no credit for finding the bug. I found the patch
here:

http://www.paldo.org/index.php?section=packages&page=main&releaseid=20289
http://www.paldo.org/paldo/sources/shadow/shadow-4.0.8-encrypt-1.patch.bz2

Please apply.

Thanks
Greg
