[Solved] ssh and sudo -- "unable to allocate memory"

Hi,

I'm getting a really random regression after upgrading my Linode box yesterday.

I can "ssh myserver.com", and get a shell, like normal. From inside that shell, I can do, e.g.

% sudo ls

and it works as expected.

But, from another machine:

% ssh myserver.com sudo ls
sudo: main: unable to allocate memory

Or even:

% ssh myserver.com sudo
sudo: main: unable to allocate memory

And, from inside an interactive shell, over ssh, on myserver.com:

% ssh localhost sudo
sudo: main: unable to allocate memory

ssh -v doesn't show up anything out of the ordinary. I don't seem to be able to find a way to get more debugging info out of sudo.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
