Sudo runs on more systems thsan just OpenBSD and so has a lot of configure goo and defines as a result. There's really no point in removing that. Any changes made to the sudo in OpenBSD just makes updates harder. The alloc functions implement integer overflow checks that are not present on most systems as well as a malloc(0) check that has caught bugs in the past. Nothing in sudo should be calling malloc with a zero size. - todd
