Sorry it's taken so long to resolve this bug, but it remains unreproducible
in the general case.

Two things that would probably help me pin this bug:

- output of strace -ff run on your useradd command
- a gdb backtrace from the same at the point of the assertion.

Your continued help and patience is very much appreciated.  Since no one
else is reporting this problem, I will most likely downgrade this bug within
the next week (thus leaving it possibly unfixed for etch) if you aren't able
to send me a backtrace, due to the difficulty in debugging this blind.

AIUI, these problems should at least be addressed now in unstable, so
fortunately it might now be a bit less painful to debug the remaining
assertion bug.

Thanks,
