Solaris 8 07/03 passwd problem

[tsuba]

Hi all,
I am having some problems concearning to passwd -e command. I have 8 new machines with Solaris 8 07/03 installed with recommended patches of 12/04/2004 returning Segmentation Fault after issuing the command "passwd -e username". Eg:
# passwd -e test
Old Shell: /sbin/sh
New Shell: /usr/bin/ksh
Segmentation Fault
#
I really think that the recommended patches installer an update of some lib that passwd uses, and is messing up. But I'm not sure about that. Anyone out there have this problem? That´s no big deal because you can always edit /etc/passwd for that. changing passwords is functioning Ok. Any help would be apreciated.

tks
