Bug#245092: gksu: Outputs garbage on i386

[Teemu Ikonen]

Package: gksu
Version: 1.2.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #245092

Hi,

Just to followup on this bug, on i386 the gksudo (or gnome-sudo) executes
the command ok, but outputs some garbage afterwards, probablu indicating
some kind of runaway pointer. Example:

/usr/share/doc/gksu> gksudo ls
AUTHORS  README  TODO  changelog.Debian.gz  changelog.gz  copyright
l=FA   F@x@\a]

This is related to the sudo functionality, since when called as gksu,
everything works fine.
