        so spake Marcus Meissner (meissner):

I cannot reproduce this in the default installation of sudo in SUSE Linux
9.3.

Sudo catches SIGINT and returns an empty string for the password
so I don't see how this could happen unless the user's actual
password was empty.  I suppose some kind of PAM misconfiguration
is also possible.
