Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

After typing username & passwort and clicking "login", GDM disables the input fields, hides the mouse pointer and is irresponsive from then on.
(expected behaviour: start loading GNOME)

See attached /var/log/gdm/:0-slave.log for stacktraces.

Obviously it's a problem in libtalloc or PAM (I can't log in using KDM or XDM either, the former being KDE doesn't report any errors, the latter has a segfault in libtalloc), but GDM should not freeze up. Instead it should crash completely or display some message.

Also there is a critical failed assertion.
