OK.

When I try this on a RH6.2 system I get process group and tty group
leaders the same, even though neither of them is the same as zsh's PID.
That causes zsh to exit the loop, even though it has never attachtty()d.

What we (zsh-workers) need to find out is whether what you see instead
is a normal behavior of some new version of su/bash/whatever, or whether
it is an anomaly of your system (which at the moment I'm at a loss to
explain).

Please tell us the RPM version numbers of these packages on your system:

bash
sh-utils
util-linux

Thanks.
