I am using the final version of Hardy and, like Iain, also have the habit to remove the password grace period. I also limit sudo password grace period to individual ttys, instead of global, by adding "Defaults:ALL tty_tickets".

I was driving nuts and almost ruined sudoers because I couldn't edit anything when "sudo visudo" (:i, Esc, :w, etc... nothing worked). Luckily I found this thread and the tip by Constantine Evans solved this issue.

Sorry to say, but this is totally crazy! I love Ubuntu (especially Hardy where everything works great) but this "bug" is a real pain in the neck.
