[Bug 88580] Re: kdesu accept any password

[Paul Dufresne]

It seems to not be as easy as I said to reproduce.
Same version as you, the 2 was truncated.

I had try many times, and was about to say that I was unable to
reproduce it after rebooting the computer. But I finally was able.

I begin to wonder if my bug that make adept-updater crash
does not make it happen.

Even after doing kdesu -s to stop kdesud, does not stop the
bug from happening each time (once activated, not sure yet
how).

If that helps:
paul at paul-Caspar:~/arts_crash2$ ps -eH|grep kdesu
paul at paul-Caspar:~/arts_crash2$ kdesu whoami

I am not much used to gdb, but I guess I'll try to get some information
on what is going on, while the bug is 'activated', before rebooting and
not take the risk not to be able to reproduce it.
