Bug#640304: sudo received signal SIGBUS, Bus error

2011-09-16 Thread Todd C. Miller
A bus error is usually an alignment problem. I can see how this could happen on 64-bit machines with strict alignment requirements (such as sparc64). The following patch fixes the problem for me. It will be part of a sudo 1.8.2p1 release. - todd diff -r d161b82321da plugins/sudoers/pwutil.c
