This morning I pulled up three rxvt terminals and ssh into a remote server. In each of the three ssh sessions I tried to su and failed with the following error message:

%su root
Password:load: 0.53  cmd: su 38176 [ttyin] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 1556k
load: 0.53  cmd: su 38176 [ttyin] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 1556k

Client is FreeBSD 8 stable (i386)
Server is FreeBSD 7.2 Release

An identical report was filed against aterm:

Using a standard xterm, or XFCE Terminal I could su just fine. Also typing stty status '^M' before su, as suggested by Ruslan Ermilov solved the problem.
