I've noticed a very strange problem with the "su" command on my PC, running 2.2.7-stable from Aug 1 (this problem is recent). Every time I run su (and I have normally never had a problem), the process just starts to grow, and around roughly 10Mb's of resident memory, seg faults. I've rebuilt su from the source tree, but it appears that the command is fine. Any ideas, or debugging that I can do ? It doesn't create a core file, which is a bit limiting.
