Bug#314990: xdm: cannot log in
Package: xdm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
As of xdm 4.3.0.dfsg.1-13, I cannot log in. Downgrading to
4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 gets me in again. Here is an excerpt from xdm.log:

The number after "unexpected status" in the second last line always
seems to be the PID reported in the previous two lines.
