I got the same error recently just after upgrading KDE2alpha2 rpms.
I errantly quit the Xterm I was using to upgrade the rpms, and when I
started another, it wouldn't let me su to root to run rpm --rebuilddb
and update-menus -v.
Not sure what the cause is, but logging out, restarting the X
server, logging back into KDE solved the problem. 'Course that's
necessary, often sevral times after a KDE upgrade anyhow. I've been
using Linux for several years and that's the first time I got that
error, so I suspect it's KDE2-Xterm related.
/etc/security/limits.conf has a 100mb file size limit....
# limit size of any one of users' files to 100mb
* hard fsize 100000
.... but I don't believe it's related to the su error, and I didn't
need to change that to solve the problem.
