I've seen it happen under the following circumstances:

* Winbind used for authentication and authentication server is timing out.
* NIS is used for authentication and the password file has malformed +:
entries.
* Spaces in the password or shadow file at the end of a line
* Comments (using a # sign) in the password or shadow file

First thing I'd do is run pwck to verify your password and shadow file
doesn't have any such errors.
