How to get sudo to dump core?

[Alan Sparks]

Got the backtrace.  Running a 'bt' now shows the following:
#0  0xff3c3614 in ?? ()
#1  0xff3c36c8 in ?? ()
#2  0xff3c3994 in ?? ()
#3  0xff3c14b0 in ?? ()
#4  0xff3c15b8 in ?? ()
#5  0xff371c74 in pam_end () from /usr/lib/libpam.so.1
#6  0x1cd68 in pam_prep_user ()
#7  0x19024 in set_perms_suid ()
#8  0x18e64 in set_perms_suid ()
#9  0x19b64 in main ()

Not that I'm sure what it's telling me, other that things went really
weird in pam_end().  Wonder if that has been changed in an incompatible
way by Sun in their latest patches...?
