Thanks for the detective work.  It looks to me like the bug is caused by
the change in the openpam_parse_chain() return value.  In the previous
code it returned the value of count, which I would guess was greater
than zero if it found something.  In that case, the for loop in
openpam_load_chain() would be terminated because r != 0.  In the new
code, openpam_parse_chain() will return PAM_SUCCESS if it found
something, and the loop in openpam_load_chain() will go through another
iteration because ret == PAM_SUCCESS.  I think the code around the end
of the loop should look more like:
		if (ret == PAM_SUCCESS)
			break;
	}
	return (ret);
}
