Problem with "su -" and kernels 2.4.3-ac11 and higher

I'm having a problem with "su -" on ac11/ac12. ac5 doesn't show the
problem.
The problem is easy to reproduce - go to a console, log in as root, do an
"su -" (this will succeed) and then another "su -". The second "su -"
should hang - ps shows it started bash and that the bash process is
sleeping. You need to "kill -9" the bash to get your prompt back.

Distribution is Red Hat 7.1, running on an Athlon Thunderbird 900MHz on a
MSI K7T Turbo R motherboard.

Thanks,
