There's more than one su implementation out there.  Are you sure this is
coreutils' version?  Besides, the coreutils version is not as popular
these days, and we are considering retiring it (at any rate, it is no
longer built by default in coreutils 6.12).  At this point, you'd need to
strace the call to see which system calls are being used (or skipped).
