 Replying to [comment:48 erikos]:
 > Just found out that 'sudo -i' fails because we try to change the
 directory to /root and the permissions for such an action do not suffice.

 Fixed in olpc-sudo 1.3.  In general, you should be using 'sudo -s' or
 plain 'sudo' though.  'sudo -i' gets rid of SUGAR_PATH, as a 'feature'.
