I think the best is to build debugging version of su:

# cd /usr/src/usr.bin/su 
# make clean
# make depend
# set CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -g"
# make
# install  -o root -g wheel -m 4555  -fschg /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.bin/su/su /usr/bin

( 'make install' will strip the binary and all the nice debug info is
gone)

Now run su in the debugger, and will probably get a core dump:

gdb /usr/bin/su

(gdb) run

When it crashes, get a backtrace (in gdb: `bt full' and post it here).
