Public bug reported:
GDM (gdm-session-worker) will crash if /etc/passwd is modified (e.g. via
'vipw'). When that happens, it is impossible to re-login until gdm is
restarted.
Crash shows in the system log like:
Jan 23 13:01:07 hostname: [ 3003.992617] gdm-session-wor[15
114]: segfault at 7f9cdbe51b70 ip 00007f9cdb060dac sp 00007fff195a40e0 error 4 i
