Title:
  sudo is spitting error on invocation: "no talloc stackframe at
  ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory"

Status in “sudo” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After updating from 13.10 64-bit to 14.04 64-bit,
  every time sudo <command> is issued,
  message appears:
  "no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory"

  sudo seems to be working, but message is unsettling and should not appear if everything is ok...
  Since it is sudo, 
  I flag it as security problem , because memory leaking in a program that lead to memory escalation is not pleasant (or at least reporting it as such).
