>Description:
	While using dt-1.1.7 it is impossible to su to root. Exiting dt will allow you to su again, as will using dt-1.1.5. 
>How-To-Repeat:
	Log into your NetBSD 1.4.1 machine as a user (in group wheel), invoke dt, watch the screen go from black on white to 
white on black.... ooooh.... ahhh..... now decide that you need to do something as root and try:

	% su
	Password: <insert root password>
	Sorry
	% su -
	Password: <insert root password>
	Sorry
	% su root
	Password: <insert root password>
	Sorry
	% su - root
	Password: <insert root password>
	Sorry

	etc.

	Scratch your head in dismay and download the dt-1.1.5.tar.gz tarball from ftp.macbsd.com and scratch your head yet again when
it works just fine..... hmmmm.....

>Fix:
	In the works.... in the meantime, install dt-1.1.5 if you have this problem.
