I wonder if it could be some library that passwd uses that is corrupt?
running ldd /usr/sbin/passwd
(or what ever is that path to passwd) would show what libs are being 
used by that and maybe reinstalling some would not hurt. Surely a pam 
config file error should not cause paswd to segfault but a lib that pam 
uses might cause it if its faulty.

What was the alst thing that was upgraded or changed on your system?
