thanks:

Well, I use the su utility came with the system. All i
did was installation of /bin/bash for root user
account toor. I used "vipw" for editting, then I am
getting that trouble. Once i go back to /bin/sh, the
file su.gmon will stop showing up ...

Can't figure out why ...

btw, i did turn out the profilling features whne i
compiled the bash, could that be the problem?
