I advice that you create a new user with a fresh leash.

I'm using sudo 1.7.2p7-1 and could go through the trouble of naggging
folks to post their sudo output just to get this fixed ;)

My sudoers verbatim:
# Defaults specification
Defaults  rootpw, timestamp_timeout=0, passwd_timeout=0

# User privilege specification
root	ALL=(ALL) ALL

# Uncomment to allow people in group wheel to run all commands
%wheel	ALL=(ALL) ALL

Nothing exotic... the only relevant setting is timestamp
