[sudo-users] sudo spawns the process but does not exit

[Alexander N. Moibenko]

Hello,
I have a process which runs in a loop.
I run it on Red Hat Linux 5.
For sudo version 1.7.2p1 I have my process started and running under init:
$ sudo -V
Sudo version 1.7.2p1

start application 10KC_078.mover (using sudo and sudoers)

pstree output:
init,1
├─acpid,3280
....
├─python,13868 /opt/enstore/sbin/mover 10KC_078.mover


With newer sudo releases and same sudoers:
$ sudo -V
Sudo version 1.7.9p1
init,1
├─acpid,3280
....
├─sudo,15219 /opt/enstore/sbin/mover 10KC_078.mover
│ └─python,15222 /opt/enstore/sbin/mover 10KC_078.mover


Is this a new feature or a bug?
