No, ps doesn't show the new shell starting at all. The su process
just grows in size until it seg faults (appears to hit a login.conf
problem). My login.conf is stock standard, and my limits are :

1=[khetan@chain] ~$ su
Segmentation fault
2=[khetan@chain] ~$ su -m
Segmentation fault
3=[khetan@chain] ~$ su -l
Segmentation fault
4=[khetan@chain] ~$ ulimit -a
