Nope. Still waiting for a transcript (see script(1)) of the error along with
some explanations before looking into this.

Filling a bug at severity critical without a single word in the message body
sounds like a bad joke for me. Is it a fresh install? Did you play with
/etc/sudoers file? How exactly did you invoque su? Anything coming to mind
which could help us?

I'm in the mood of closing this if no more information arrive within a week.

Bye, Mt.
