I have tested with bash, sh and csh. It seems the child process forked simply die irrespective of the shell.

Ok, so it's probably not a shell problem
There  is no change in the dot files for root:
[r...@tds sagara]# diff /root/.cshrc /usr/src/etc/root/dot.cshrc
[r...@tds sagara]# diff /root/.login /usr/src/etc/root/dot.login
[r...@tds sagara]# diff /root/.profile /usr/src/etc/root/dot.profile

/root/.login executes the fortune program. Can you su to root and then
run '/usr/games/fortune -s'?

/root/.login is completely commented out.
[r...@tds sagara]# /usr/games/fortune -s
After years of research, scientists recently reported that there is,
indeed, arroz in Spanish Harlem. Different runs displays different messages.

Here is the log message for "su -l":
Jul 2 12:38:17 tds kernel: pid 943 (su), uid 0: exited on signal 11

It could be a hardware problem. Signal 11 can be a sign of bad memory.
Can you reproduce the problem on multiple machines?

I have taken the hard disk out and fixed on different machines, the symptoms are still the same. So it may not be a hardware error.
