Well, erratic behaviour like that might be indicative of a memory
corruption problem somewhere. However, we still can't help you, because
we can't replicate your configuration and you haven't even posted any
debug traces.

If you want to post and ask for help, you have to give us enough
information to do more than guess at your problems.

Start by sending your pam config, sshd_config, any configure options
that you built with, details of your platform and a server debug ("sshd
-ddd") trace.
