That log trace seems to indicate that (a) you have some sort of serious
problem with either your PAM or your nsswitch configuration causing a
ticket cache that was just created in the authentication stage to no
longer have correct ownership in the account stage, and (b) the segfault
isn't occuring in the PAM module, since that last line is the final line
logged by the PAM module before returning to the process.
