	Ah ok! :)

	Yes, please, take a look at this thread:

http://www.sudo.ws/pipermail/sudo-workers/2008-September/000626.html

	We use strace too and I noticed that it stalled when trying to
access /dev/log (at the end). Does it make sense?

	The sudo guy says it's an UDP connection, so this could explain
why I can't restore it with nmap -sS... 

	At the end, he thinks it could be a kernel issue... (what I
think too, because it never happened before 2.6.25).

	Any ideas?
