Mhhh,
the strace output from the 'login: root' one (the one which was good)
looks the same till the EFBIG place:
write(1, "\10\10\10\10\10", 5) = 5
write(1, "16/44", 5) = 5
_llseek(4, 18446744071562084352, [2147500032], SEEK_SET) = 0
write(4, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32768) = 32768
_llseek(4, 18446744071562117120, [2147532800], SEEK_SET) = 0
write(4, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32768) = 32768
_llseek(4, 18446744071562149888, [2147565568], SEEK_SET) = 0
write(4, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32768) = 32768
_llseek(4, 18446744071562182656, [2147598336], SEEK_SET) = 0
write(4, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32768) = 32768
