I'm happy that I'm not the only one and my hope is that this raises prio on
this weird issue.

I suspect it appeared after kernel or shadow.rpm update. I also suspect that
it only happens on a SMP system with the SMP-enabled kernel.

I already filed a bug report but no notable response from SuSE so far...

Ciao, Michael.
