sudo asks for passwords twice

from the last upgrade, every time sudo asks for the root password in the konsole, it always asks two times, three if I mistype...
it's really annoying.

I tried to search for a solution, but can't find anything useful, did anyone have any idea?

I use Arch x64 with KDE 4.6.1.

Thanks for the answers,
Lenry

*this is a guess*

maybe related to the latest sudo upgrade that also changed behaviour for apps like packer and yaourt.  If it is, the patched version of sudo is in testing and should be hitting core soon (but you could always downgrade it in the meantime)

I'm using the latest sudo (not from testing) and I don't have any issues at a terminal but I do have my user account set with "NOPASSWD"
