`tsu`'s `sudo` triggers device hang when used in Termux:Widget plugin context

[Minabsapi]

Forwarded from termux/termux-widget#67

Problem description

Upon launching a script making use of tsu's sudo through the Termux:Widget module, the script fails and the device starts hanging, apparently due to a memory leak
That script when launched directly through Termux doesn't trigger any issue
Also no issue even with the shortcut when using agnostic-apollo 's sudo

Steps to reproduce

1. Create this script in Termux 's ".shortcuts" folder

Toggle ADB

getprop init.svc.adbd | grep "running" && (sudo stop adbd) || (sudo start adbd)

Its effect is to toggle device's ADB Daemon on / off according to its state.

2. Start it from Termux (not shortcut) to see for yourself this works as intended (if rooted).

3. Create a new shortcut targeting it

Expected behavior

Should work as it would when launched directly through the Termux app

Actual behavior

stop will fail, and the device will start to hang a few seconds after
