Package: sudo
Version: 1.6.9p11-1+b1
Severity: normal
Hello,
When i run in a root shell "aptitude safe-upgrade", it works fine, no
freeze, aptitude outputs normally and immediately.
But if i do from my current user "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade", the
whole system freezes for 5s, then it unlocks and everything gets back
to normal.

The number of waiting processes is quite unusual :/
"sudo date" or "sudo sleep 5" don't freeze the system.
I don't know if this is sudo related or kernel bug, but i've only observed
it with sudo.
Thanks.

Ok, I'm happy to consider this resolved (though I'd love to know the
details of what specifically changed..).
