When I had my sudo upgraded from 1.7.4_p5 to 1.8.2 sudoedit started to change LOGNAME, USERNAME and USER environment variables to those of target user. Sudo manual says resetting these variables when sudo is invoked is the expected default behaviour while sudoedit runs with environment unmodified. Both 1.8.1_p2 and 1.8.2 change the variables above while 1.7.4_p5 works as described in the sudo manual. This is an inconvenience because editors such as emacs use these vars to find the config files.
