It's linked against Linux-PAM (libpam.so.1 rather than libpam.so.2). A bug (misfeature?) in xdm's conversation function makes it crash when it tries to run pam_lastlog. Changing pam_lastlog to pam_permit in /etc/pam.d/other, or adding "no_warn" to the pam_lastlog entry, should hide the bug. Linux-PAM uses the session chain from the "other" policy because the "xdm" policy does not have one, while OpenPAM would only use the "other" policy if there was no "xdm" policy at all. The former is traditional, but surprising if you're not familiar with PAM. I have patches that make OpenPAM do this, but I'm not entirely certain if tradition should win over simplicity in this case.
