sudo always seem to create a "monitor" process #76

I'm using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, which just updated sudo to v1.9.4. Previously I would assume I had at least v1.9.2 given how quickly packages get into Tumbleweed repositories.

However even though currently I have Defaults !use_pty, !pam_session, !pam_setcred in my /etc/sudoers file (and there are no other files under /etc/sudoers.d), sudo always seems to start a monitor process that waits for the executed one to finish. Previously those options disabled this monitor process.

I have just downgraded sudo to 1.8.22 and the issue doesn't seem to be present, thus my assumption is that something broke in the latest 1.9.x releases, or perhaps there is another option enabled by default that requires a monitor process.
