Looks like your su executable has been compiled with profiling
support. That's not a stunningly good idea for stuff in general use,
especially for a setuid executable like su(1). I assume that you're
using su(1) to become root, which is why the .gmon file is always
reappearing.
See gprof(1) for details of profiling executables.
Is this the system su(1) or the su(1) that comes with GNU sh-utils? I
ask simply because I can't see how you could accidentally turn on
profiling for just su(1) in the main system without knowing about it.
Cheers
Matthew
