Package: login
Version: 1:4.1.1-6
Severity: important
When invoking "sudo su -" I sometimes get immediately logged out back to the
unprivileged user.
I have narrowed it down to something with "-su" process that gets created.
I don't seem to be able to recreate this for just a normal "su -", but the bug
is not consistently reproducible.
I can somewhat consistently reproduce this bug on 4 systems that were all
upgraded to Lenny from Etch.
Seems to happen about 50% of the times I "sudo su -".
Here is a strace from a "-su" process that had the issue.
