Package: sudo
Version: 1.6.9p17-2
Severity: normal

If you pass -u \# and a non-existant user id, then it appears to segfault.

It's probably ok, but segfaults from security apps worry me.

$ sudo -u \#499 id
Segmentation fault

Expected result
$ sudo -u \#499 id
uid=499 gid=0(root) groups=0(root) 

or something like that.

It happens with apps other than id, so it probably isn't the app you run. Maybe 
it's the app that segfaults due to common libc code. Hmm.
