Trouble with SIA - "Login timed out"

Hi,
   I'm trying to write a SIA authentication function under Digital Unix
4.0g. I've been using sia_ses_init(), sia_ses_authent(),
sia_ses_estab() and sia_ses_release() to write a replacement for
sia_validate_user() that respects account locking policy. I have
checked to ensure that all these calls succeed, but oddly, the program
dies (ie is killed) AFTER the return of the authentication function.

   The only other clue I get is two error messages.
"Login timed out" and
"Can't rewrite protected password entry for user USERNAME"

   Unfortunately, I'm not sure what they actually mean, what the
underlying problem is and how to solve it.

Thanks
