vsftpd doesn't know anything about pam_userdb. It just calls libpam, which 
reads /etc/pam.d/vsftpd, and if you happen to have pam_userdb in there, it 
will dlopen() it, call the proper functions, and then dlclose() it.

If anything at all was cached there, between pam calls, I would be highly 
surprised.
