This might be due to the fix for CVE-2005-4890
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=628843

This needs to be investigated further (in particular to check what sux is
doing, and whether this could be fixed on the sux side).
(The fix removes the controlling terminal for non-interactive executions)
