Ian,
In your example you do not log in
it is like this now...

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo bash &
[1] 12101
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ [sudo] password for me:
mypassword!!!!

[1]+  Stopped                 sudo bash
bash: mypassword: command not found

[1]+  Stopped                 sudo bash
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 

...with a result that I can't start it. But I guess you got the point. Quick 
workaround is ...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo bash
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ [sudo] password for me:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ exit
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo bash &
[2] 12299
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 


cheers,

Bastiaan
