I appreciate the pam module feature having an environment variable
PASSWORD_EXPIRES set after login.
However, migrating from a 31bit system (architecture s390) to a 64bit
system
(architecture s390x) the variable started to contain useless garbage but
the
actual amount of days until the password expires.
After some investigation I found out that this fix should help:

char upwd_buf[2048]; /* size is a guess. */
It seems that "password_expires" is handled in a 32bit variable and
on 64bit systems the type "long" defaults to a 64bit object.
