RH9 Password Expiration Bug

[Eucke]

Does anyone know if the password expiration bug was ever fixed in RH9?  
This is the bug where from time to time password expiration will 
suddenly become enabled for all accounts?  I have seen references on 
RH's sites but they all seem to indicate that this was to be fixed in 
future versions and would not be touched for RH9.  If not fixed is there 
perhaps a workaround or does anyone have some idea as to the trigger?  
Thanks!
