I've just been bitten by this bug yet again. I've had to request to my
administrator to reboot our server into recovery mode to remove the
file. Why isn't a bug that locks administrators out of the operating
system (in an otherwise well-configured environment) not considered a
critical bug? The only workaround I can think of is to know in advance
that creating a file in /etc/sudoers.d might cause lockouts, so keep a
separate shell as root... but I don't always remember to do that.

I would be grateful if someone would please fix this.
