about-me capplet freezes not only, when using pam_cracklib, but also in default Ubuntu 7.10 Live CD and after installation. It seems it freezes always, when password is too simple. It's very simple to reproduce - just go to System->Preferences->About me, click on "Change Password", then click on "Authenticate" and ten input only one letter, for example 'a' in new password/retype new password. Then just click on "Change Password" button and you will get about-me capplet frozen forever :(
