Hello,

I am pretty sure you are mistaken.

Doublechecking LP #1013798 we find this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgcrypt11/+bug/1013798/comments/12
| I just found the apparent root cause for the libgcrypt11 crash:

enable-global-init-secure-memory.patch would have fixed LP #1013798
but was reverted back to no-global-init-thread-callbacks.diff (which
fixes the sudo/LDAP issue) because the regression 
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgcrypt11/+bug/1076906>
from no-global-init-thread-callbacks.diff to
enable-global-init-secure-memory.patch
was too severe.

LP #1013798 is still open and unfixed.
