I got something much more "interesting"; this time on x86_64. execve("/usr/bin/newaliases", ["/usr/bin/newaliases"], [/* 32 vars */]) = 0 brk(0) = 0x55555589f000 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ Yes, that is the whole strace output in that particular case. All attempts to start /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail, regardless of a name used and arguments, are ending up in the same way. Reverting glibc-2.5.90-2 to glibc-2.5-3 makes sendmail immediately to run.

On i686, su (from coreutils-5.97-13) segfaults on me, under strace-4.5.14-3 it tells me the (correct) password is wrong.
