Actually, in RHEL 6(.7) is still part of coreutils package - and is
based on su.c (in RHEL 7 it was moved to util-linux). In any case, I
would suggest to use either Red Hat support or filing Red Hat bugzilla
directly - as this issue has nothing to do with current upstream
coreutils.
(thanks Bob for the answers/replies)
