I tried it under similar conditions: dapper chroot, my user not in
sudoers, but I have a password in /etc/shadow, so that PAM can actually
authenticate me. I just get

  $ sudo ls
  Password:
  martin is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.

without a "Broken pipe" error message, but I understand that this is
subject to a race condition. My strace -f output also contains similar
output, and a quick inspection of logging.c, send_mail() shows that this
hasn't been fixed in Hardy yet.
