Wow, I had the same exact problem with SLES9 64-bit edition, but
with courier-authlib! I did the same thing, uninstalled the 64-bit
version, and installed the 32-bit vesion and all problems went away
just like that. I found articles of others having the same issues
with the 64-bit version of SLES, so I assume courier-authlib, as well
as other lib's/bin's are having issues with compiling on 64-bith
architectures.
I also had issues with konqueror in the 64-bit version crashing
for unknown reasons, that also went away with an install of the
32-bit version.
In the currently-unreleased 5.4.13 version of vpopmail, I added a patch
from Jory A. Pratt to compile libvpopmail with the -fPIC compiler flag.
He said it was related to AMD64 compiles and problems with linking to
courier.
Here are links to the two CVS changes for that patch:

I don't know anything about 64-bit, or what the -fPIC option does, but
you might want to try it and see if that helps.
man gcc shows this:
-fPIC
If supported for the target machine, emit position-independent
code, suitable for dynamic linking and avoiding any limit on the
size of the global offset table. This option makes a difference on
the m68k, m88k, and the SPARC.
Position-independent code requires special support, and therefore
works only on certain machines.
I've never hears of it either. Can anyone see if it solves the chkuser
problem?
