sudo resets the environment, in particular also PATH. Why would this be a bug?
Current distros set env_reset in /etc/soduers for a reason. Not that I
know the reason in detail, but I won't claim that I'm more clever with
regards to security issues than distro packagers; so I trust that if they
do it, then it makes sense.
