It happens to me on os x.  I thought it was a feature.

If I type, as a user, su and login with the root password, then with either
up arrow or ctrl-r the command history is 3976 items (max set to 5000)
but they are the *users* commands, not roots. There are some of roots
commands interspersed but those only seem to be from the last root session.

su - gives me the correct 4819 commands that root has issued since the
machine was installed.

I thought something was wrong with my system when I first noticed this
but it also occurs on my Debian sarge server. I am not having much luck
with google so I am wondering if this is normal behaviour for zsh and
if so, how can I "fix" it?
