Package: sudo
Version: 1.6.8p7-1.3
Dist: Sarge

Sudo is apparently not hooking the tty to the child process any
longer.  When I attempt to start a root emacs in X emacs exits with
the message:

emacs: standard input is not a tty

The command line alias reads as follows:

alias remacs='(unset -f 
rm;TMPDIR=/tmp;HOME=/root;USER=root;MAIL=/var/spool/mail/root;export HOME USER 
MAIL; sudo emacs -i -geometry 80x64&)'

In version 1.6.8p7-1.2 the above alias works as expected and starts a
root emacs in a new window.

Regards,
-Marsh
