Ah -- /bin/login on linux behaves differently from standard daemons like
OpenSSH. If it forks, and then its child terminates after an execvp, the
OS apparently interprets that as the user logging out, and drops the
connection. So, I replaced the fork/execvp with a system(). Also, I
included the pam_sm_close_session to be fully compatible.

I didn't even realize this package existed. Ironicly, it was brought up
on the list only hours before I decided to publish the module I've been
using for 2 months. Perhaps I should have more carefully scanned my
139-message inbox before posting. I'll look into it. Thanks!
