I'd guess something with either the passwd file (like invalid shell) or
a .file (like .bashrc, .login)

Subject: Update: Re: Okay, now I'm screwed
Okay, I'm not totally screwed... After a hard power-off (shutdown didn't
work) I rebooted with the supplied kernel for Gutsy, and sudo now works.
I'm going to try it again with my custom 2.6.24.3 and see if it breaks
sudo again. In the mean time, I have given root a password.
