>Description:

Patch 7067 for IRIX 6.5.29 updates libc with recent TimeZone changes (from patch info:

         Fixes:
           Bug #940809-DST fix for new 2007 law, including
           northamerica and australasia TZ files

           Bug #950520- northamerica and backward zic files
           conflict
).

With this patch installed, "su" (installed as "gsu" by default?) segfaults if it is invoked as "su -".  "su -s <shell>" is unaffected.
>How-To-Repeat:

Running "su -", or "sudo su -" successfully changes UID to root, but then segfaults.  The core file dumped is created in root's home directory.
>Fix:
