Subject: Question about mv and su in 3.3.1

If I use su to become root while in my home directory, and I mv a file
to /tmp, for example, who should own the file?  Me, or root?   Under 
3.2 I think that root would have been the owner(I don't remember, 
could someone still running 3.2 please check?).  Anyway, under 3.3.1, I 
retain ownership of the file.

Has this been "fixed"?  Is this a bug or a feature?
