I recently discovered this through a blunder of my own.  I accidently  
"updated" a 7-STABLE machine to 7-RELEASE, and discovered, among some  
other problems, that sudo failed with the same error you report.

(I've now put a link to USE-THIS-SUPFiLE to stable-supfile in /usr/ 
local/etc/cvsup to avoid the blunder in the future.)
