Description of problem: If a sudo is used to launch vim against several files, only the first path name remains unmangled. All other paths passed to vim will have leading slash stripped. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sudo-1.6.9p4-6.fc8 vim-7.1.245-1.fc8 How reproducible: sudo vim /etc/hosts /etc/services Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run above command. 2. First file (/etc/hosts) will load just fine. 3. Tell vim to load next file (/etc/services) using ':n'. Actual results: Next file (/etc/services) will not load because vim will actually be trying to load 'etc/services'. Expected results: vim should have no problem loading 2nd file in example. Additional info: This example works just fine without sudo and also works fine as root via su. I have not seen the problem with any other command other than vim.
fixed in 1.6.9p13-5
