Confirmed this problem in Edgy ia32 here, as well, pasting into
Thunderbird. This problem is absolutely not acceptable as a "wait for
next release or go back to Dapper" resolution. If we don't have a serve-
the-customer attitude then Linux / Ubuntu will never move forward long
term. That's my $0.02
This situation is still the same in Edgy. The current sudo breaks many,
many build scripts by not inheriting the path. There really should be a
way to override this "feature" without having to rebuild the package.

sudo built with --with-secure-path is problematic

Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: sudo
For developers who do cross-compiling (for example), sudo needs to
inherit the path of the user invoking the sudo command. A better
solution is to build without this option and instead alias 'sudo' to
'sudo -i' in user accounts (or /etc/bash.bashrc).
