"ps" doesn't report any shells staying around after invoking the modified 
console-log script. So I think it terminates.

Yes. On my system setting ulimit to 29000kB appears to be the minimum. However 
I could imaging that this might dependent on, e.g., how many pam modules are 
loaded when invoking "su".

BTW:
On my Debian/testing amd64 system "ps" reports
VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
28588  1208 pts/4    S      0:00 su

on a Debian/testing i386 system
VSZ   RSS TTY       STAT TIME COMMAND
4144    1036 pts/1    S      0:00  su

Cheers,
Martin
