System name:		the-other-woman
Type and version:	SPARC/Classic 7.6M
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
	su to root (or anything else)

What's wrong:
	su seg faults regardless of how I invoke it.

		athena% su
		Segmentation fault
		athena% su daemon
		Segmentation fault
		athena% su jweiss
		Segmentation fault
		athena% su -jweiss
		Segmentation fault
		athena% su root
		Segmentation fault
		athena% su -rppt
		Segmentation fault
		athena% su -root
		Segmentation fault


What should have happened:
	I should have been prompted for a password.  It is worth
	noting that when I loggen in as systest it worked.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	athena% which su
	/usr/bin/su
	athena% where su
	/usr/bin/su
