Subject: su segfaults, why?

Hello,
I have tried executing fetchmail as a user from /usr/local/etc/rc.d 
and noticed that it would segfault. So i tried the following from 
command line: (writing this from memory..)
# su user '/usr/local/bin/fetchmail'
segfault (core dumped) 
# su user uptime
segfault (core dumped)
If user shell is zsh, then the core file is left in ~user directory, 
otherwise there is none..So, is this an incorrect usage of su on my 
part? I am running 3.2-STABLE from around July 7th.

 Thanks,
Alex
