Thanks for reporting that.  Unfortunately the traceback doesn't give
much info, and I'm a bit suspicious of the backtrace, since I don't
know why vfprintf would call cuserid.

Could you please try compiling coreutils 6.1 and see whether you can
reproduce the problem there?  If you compile with -g you should get a
better backtrace.  Anyway, the code in question has mutated somewhat
(to simplify translation), and perhaps the bug, whatever it is, has
been fixed in the process.
