How about one more weird guess?

You are using acp_passwd with DES encrypted passwords.  In /etc/passwd
you are using md5 encrypted passwords and the crypt library in /usr/lib
is the md5 library rather than the libcrypt from the "secure" distribution.
The guess is that the md5 library goes into an infinite loop if you hand
it a DES password (because its too short?).
