But I never got mail from sudo about this before. It just didn't work
(in fact the whole point is that is isn't supposed to work - this
test user runs sudo as part of a series of test scripts that in
this case is verifying the debugger it is testing doesn't get
control of a setuid program).

It has been a while since I've been able to run these tests
on fedora, so sudo must have "improved" since then :-(.

I guess I need to spend thousands of hours figuring out
the syntax for turning off all the mail flags in /etc/sudoers :-).
