Package: sudo
Version: 1.7.4p4-2.squeeze.2
Severity: normal

A race condition exists in sudo which makes it hang forever and leave zombie 
processes, patch+technical details here:
http://blog.famzah.net/2010/11/01/sudo-hangs-and-leaves-the-executed-program-as-zombie/

Looks like other people than me had problems with it in debian squeeze:

I have this problem when running sudo from within a cgi application, so no 
"easy" way to test it.

Thanks!
