This is interesting... anyone seen this before? Improper signal handling
by su? this even works in 2.5 ,2.5.1, havent tried yet on 2.6, But I
think it's weird I can be trying to put a process as root in background
and it puts "su -" in the background.

#id
uid=0(root) gid=1(other)
# find / -name waka_waka -ls
^Z[1] + Stopped (SIGTSTP) su -

/*now i am a normal user again */
$ bg
[1] su -&
$ # fg
su -
# id
uid=0(root) gid=1(other)
#
