Bug#537718: Error happens when gksu runs in SUDO mode

[Dominique Brazziel]

    Testing using the graphical front end invoked with gksu -d
and issuing the command 'date' shows the command is actually run
and the segfault is triggered at the end when some xauth magic is
happening:

No ask_pass set, using default!
xauth: /tmp/libgksu-leDs1e/.Xauthority
STARTUP_ID: gksu/date/12159-0-asusb202_TIME1375806712
cmd[0]: /usr/bin/sudo
cmd[1]: -H
cmd[2]: -S
cmd[3]: -p
cmd[4]: GNOME_SUDO_PASS
cmd[5]: -u
cmd[6]: root
cmd[7]: --
cmd[8]: date

No password prompt found; we'll assume we don't need a password.

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
