It does not appear so. The default is no, and that is what is set. 

I was pointing out that some code was changed, which could have caused
the PAM to be called with "" which did not appear to be the case in 
3.5.  I was wondering why this was removed. 


The segfault I am getting, appears to come from not being able to load
one of my PAM modules, pam_krb5. If I can figure this out, I will 
go back and try with out the change.
