    I'd run the passwd command you are running through the fingerprint
    database at sunsolve.sun.com to make sure its a binary that Sun sent out.

    Otherwise, try applying the latest recomended patches. It shouldn't do that.
    I'd suspect some corruption or other nefarious problem with the binary.
