samba - Aug 2012 - samba4 & kpasswd: refuses to change

hi 

after kpasswd paniced samba4 (debian wheezy packages, beta2) i've 
compiled the latest from git (Version 4.0.0beta8-GIT-5131359). It does 
not panic anymore but tells me the following:

# kpasswd
Password for user at TEST.DOMAIN: 
Enter new password: 
Enter it again: 
Password change rejected: Password must be at least 7 characters long, 
and cannot match any of your 24 previous passwords


The new password hasn't been used before on this account. Complexety 
criteria are met too (otherwise it correctly fails and tells that they 
are not met).

Is kpasswd supposed to work with samba4?

OK, it's not a kpasswd problem. Changing the password from windows (ctrl -
alt -del -> change password) brings up the same message.
