16 Yes, I ran into this when my e17 session's screensaver kicked in and it
17 wanted a password. I could start a new X server and it would work
18 properly, new console sessions on a vt worked fine, but the open one
19 wouldn't authenticate me.

21 Closing that session and starting a new was all I could do, so I have to
22 assume the upgrade from pam-0.78-r5 to 0.99.6.3-r1 unlinked some pam
23 stuff that the running entrance was still wanting to use. Strange that,
24 I was under the impression that files are only fully unlinked once the
25 last running process using it releases it.
