AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges, night of the living dead

I just noticed that AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges creates
zombies...

UID PID PPID CPU PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TT TIME COMMAND
501 1007 191 0 46 0 149884 5464 - S ?? 0:00.61 /Applications/PMQueueManage
0 1008 1007 0 0 0 0 0 - Z ?? 0:00.00 (Helper)
0 1029 1007 0 0 0 0 0 - Z ?? 0:00.00 (Helper)

PMQueueManager is the parent of the Helper processes.

Helper is is the process created by the AuthorizeExe.... call. Since no pid info
is passed it is kinda hard to "wait" for them in the application...

Do you suppose this is a bug in the implementation?
