If any of you have tried to use passwd expiration, you have probably
seen this problem. The account expire date is used to notify the user
when their passwd is about to (or already has) expire. This has been a
mistake from the early days, and I suspect it is a mistake clear back to
the net-2 tape.

With this change in place, password expiration works almost the way it
should. :-)
