service command hangs when run via sudo

I have configured one user account to be able to run:

  service tomcat4 restart

without need for a password.  That script (on RH7.3) hangs when it gets
to the command:

   initlog -q -c 'su -s /bin/bash - tomcat4 -c "/usr/bin/dtomcat4
stop"'

The above service command works fine when run as root.

My sudoers config is:

  Host_Alias LOCAL = localhost, my_machine, 127.0.0.1
  User_Alias USER1 = my_user
  Cmnd_Alias  SERVICE = /sbin/service tomcat4 restart
  USER1 LOCAL=(root) NOPASSWD: SERVICE

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
greg_fenton.
