poppassd and solaris 9

I've been trying to get poppassd (version 4.0.4 from Qualcomm) to work with
Solaris 9 to no avail. I've searched the archives and google and saw that
with previous versions of Solaris the solution was as simple as changing the
passwd strings that poppassd looks for. In theory, that should have worked
like a charm, only it didn't. Here's the output from Solaris 9's passwd:

sol9box:~$ passwd
passwd: Changing password for test
Enter existing login password:
New Password:
Re-enter new Password:
passwd: password successfully changed for test

So, I added the following:

in P1: "passwd: Changing password for *\nEnter existing login password: ",
in P2: "new passwd ",
in P3: "re-enter new password: ",
in P4: "passwd: password successfully changed for *",

And the results are still:

bash-2.05# /usr/local/sbin/poppassd
200 sol9box poppassd v4.0.4 hello, who are you?
user test
200 your password please.
pass oldpass
200 your new password please.
newpass newpass
500 Unable to change password

Has anyone gotten poppassd to work with Solaris 9? Our students love it, so
we'd like to be able to give it back to them.
