Description Gary van der Merwe 2012-09-11 04:15:28 MDT

As of 1.8.6, the USER and USERNAME env var are nolonger set when using sudo.


With 1.8.5.p3-1:
$ sudo env | grep USER
USER=root
USERNAME=root
SUDO_USER=garyvdm

With 1.8.6:
$ sudo env | grep USER
SUDO_USER=garyvdm

I've attached the fix for this.  The check for duplicate environment variables was removing those in error.
