A little more data from another run.
Here's what "ps laxgwf" shows while kdesu is waiting vainly for a
password.
0 1000 2562 2510 20 0 835828 50804 n_tty_ Sl+ pts/2 0:03 |
\_ k9copy
4 0 2575 2562 20 0 53220 1992 n_tty_ Ss+ pts/4 0:00 |
\_ /usr/bin/sudo -u root /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu_stub -
If I read this correctly, the sudo process is waiting for a tty event of some
kind on pts/4.
Looking in /proc/*/fd, I find the only process with pts/4 file descriptors is
this one (0, 1, and 2).
So this sudo process is never going to get anywhere.
BTW, file descriptor 7 of the sudo process is /dev/tty.
