Indeed, I'm not quite sure why because cron would segfault on
* * * * * root date > /tmp/file
in /etc/crontab since this does not involve su, and I've removed pam-mount
from /etc/pam.d/su, and I only have it in /etc/pam.d/cron for testing.
But sure enough, it seems to have worked.
I.e. your patch seems to have fixed the SEGV I was seeing.
