[Bug 927828] Re: sudo: pam_mount.c:417: modify_pm_count: Assertion `user != ((void *)0)' failed.

[TJ]

Felix: that isn't a proposed fix - it is simply a work around that
Francesco discovered, but it caused pam_denied to run so all
authorisations fail.

I now have a patch that fixes the issue that works with the current
upstream tip (1.8.5 release candidate), thanks to a swift response by
its author Todd Miller.

I am investigating applying that fix to our 1.8.3p1 and if it is good
I'll propose an SRU for Precise.
