!->* does work, but it shouldn't matter.

I looked a little further, and the problem happens in pam_unix2.so of
pam-modules during su's call to pam_acct_mgmt. The 11.1 version of pam-modules
works fine.

Another workaround I found, which does not involve editing shadow or
downgrading, is to use "sudo -u postgres -i" instead. The latter obviously
does not fix other problems, like the postgres init script or NX server.
