Actually, that was incorrect.  The correct line is:

    Defaults	env_delete-=LD_*

The LD_* is treated as a literal string.  You almost certainly want
to make this:

    Defaults	env_delete-=LD_*, env_delete+=LD_PRELOAD

unless you need LD_PRELOAD too although I suppose that if you allow
LD_LIBRARY_PATH you can still do the same kind of nasty tricks.
