Title:
  sudo segfaults when /etc/sudoers has syntax error

Status in sudo package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If /etc/sudoers contains the following (syntactically invalid) line:

      %sudo   ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD ALL

  the sudo command will segfault:

      $ sudo true
      [1]    12958 segmentation fault (core dumped)  sudo true

  A better result would be to fail or warn with a syntax error.

  Release: groovy
  Architecture: amd64
  sudo version: 1.9.1-1ubuntu1.1
