Strange, not on my system. I have a self-compiled KDE 3.0.2, so my console is 
konsole. The used su is 

        sh-utils-2.0.11-8mdk

su calls bash version

        bash-2.05-16mdk

which calls mc with version

        mc-4.5.55-7mdk

mc is linked with

        libgpm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1 (0x4001e000)
        libglib-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0 (0x40024000)
        libext2fs.so.2 => /lib/libext2fs.so.2 (0x4004a000)
        libcom_err.so.2 => /lib/libcom_err.so.2 (0x40060000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40063000)
        libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x4019f000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

which translates to

        libgpm1-1.19.6-3mdk
        libglib1.2-1.2.10-4mdk
        libext2fs2-1.27-1.1mdk
        glibc-2.2.4-25.1mdk
        libncurses5-5.2-23mdk
        glibc-2.2.4-25.1mdk

But on my system this does NOT hang. Can you look at the versions of your 
RPMs?




But others, e.g. icpcon, hang nevertheless. Can it be that something doesn't 
propagate a needed signal?

Something may be
- su when you do su as you mentioned
- one of xinetd in.telned login when you telnet into your own box
