which was strange..
That does seem less than friendly and seems like it would be good to
be improved.
In the 7 years since this report, coreutils' su(1) was effectively
decommissioned, to be replaced by su implementation from other packages
(e.g. 'shadow' and 'util-linux').
As such, even though this is a confirmed deficiency, I'm closing the bug.
Discussion can continue by replying to this thread.
