Downgrading fix nothing.


What fixed the issue was applying the patch no_global_init_during_thread_callbacks.diff
from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=658896#28


I'm attaching the debdiff. I rebuilt libgcrypt11 with the attached debdiff.
After installing it, sudo works as expected.


I'm raising the severity another time. I think it was lowered automatically with the forcemerge.

This should be fixed before releasing Wheezy. Because of this bug, sudo is not usable on
systems configured with LDAP/PAM (which is a setup widely used).


Thanks!
