    Package: gksu
    Version: 1.2.1-1
    Followup-For: Bug #245092

    Hi,

    Just to followup on this bug, on i386 the gksudo (or gnome-sudo) executes
    the command ok, but outputs some garbage afterwards, probablu indicating
    some kind of runaway pointer. Example:

    /usr/share/doc/gksu> gksudo ls
    AUTHORS README TODO changelog.Debian.gz changelog.gz copyright
    l� F@x@\a]

    This is related to the sudo functionality, since when called as gksu, everything works fine.
