Package: sudo Version: 1.8.9~b1-1 Followup-For: Bug #732008 I'm experiencing this behavior, too.
strace on "sudo -s" shows that it loops on the following two syscalls: recvfrom(3, "", 8, MSG_WAITALL, NULL, NULL) = 0 poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 2, 4294967295) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLIN|POLLHUP}]) and lsof shows: sudo 25718 root 0u CHR 136,0 0t0 3 /dev/pts/0 sudo 25718 root 1u CHR 136,0 0t0 3 /dev/pts/0 sudo 25718 root 2u CHR 136,0 0t0 3 /dev/pts/0 sudo 25718 root 3u unix 0xffff880217357280 0t0 267416 socket sudo 25718 root 4r FIFO 0,8 0t0 267414 pipe sudo 25718 root 5w FIFO 0,8 0t0 267414 pipe sudo 25718 root 7u unix 0xffff8800c5481b00 0t0 267418 socket FWIW, I'm running systemd.
