sudo not working on macosx BigSur after 1.12.3 update #944

I tried to run sudo and got the following output:

>>> /private/etc/sudoers.d/52_prey_switcher: syntax error near line 1 <<<
sudo: parse error in /private/etc/sudoers.d/52_prey_switcher near line 1
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin

I'm running prey 1.12.3 on macosx BigSur.

I'm seeing the same three messages from sudo on Prey 1.12.4, running on macOS 14.4.1 (Sonoma). However, they appear in prey.log every 5 minutes.

Note that macOS Sonoma has a plain /etc/sudoers file but no /etc/sudoers.d directory.
