Sending you a copy of those files (authorization and su) in a separate  
email.

So, only one su executable.

By chance, do you have aliases somehow defined when launching your  
shell? (BTW, what's your shell?)
In the case of bash (or sh),
	alias -p
may provide a hint, as well as a look at /etc/profile,  
~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile, $BASH_ENV, $ENV, etc.
And what gives when trying with a shell other than the usual one?
