Title:
  gnome-about-me hang when changing passwords with libpam-cracklib

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  On Ubuntu 9.04 (confirmed to affect 8.10 too). Steps to reproduce:

  1. install libpam-cracklib
  2. log out and back in
  3. go System/Preferences/About Me and bring up the password dialog
  4. type in the correct password to authenticate and press enter
  5. type in 'pass' into both fields, and click 'Change password' (it's too short)
  6. type in 'password' into both fields, and click 'Change password'. Nothing appears to happen and 'Change password' is still clickable. Click it again.

  gnome-about-me will now 'hang'. It might take other attempts, but at
  some point, an interaction between gnome-about-me and pam with
  cracklib installed causes hangs.
