We had this situation too, even worse because it some times worked 
with out "password chat debug = yes" and some time not. I guessed 
that it is a time out problem and increased the timeout values in 
source/smbd/chgpasswd.c (line 213 and 224 for samba 2.0.7) form 2000 
to 12000 and 200 to 1200 and recompailed. We do not have any 
problemes since. Normaly our machine is fast engnough, so I don't 
understand, wy we had to increase the timeouts. AND: I do not no if 
this has any security impacts!!
