Description

With latest sudo-1.8.29, one of the changes was:

Sudo now sets most resource limits to their maximum value to avoid problems caused by insufficient resources, such as an inability to allocate memory or open files and pipes.

And now sudo: setrlimit(8): Invalid argument is thrown on every command. 

$ sudo echo foo
