Again, there are no Apple-published rules on how/when the SS
caches privileges so it's SS weirdness.
The rule database is an xml file in /etc/authorization (and I'm fairly
sure that it is documented that system.right.execute expires after 5
mins by default, but I haven't looked).
I do know that sudo(1) is available on the command line and that uses a
default 5 minute time-out. So it is very possible this is using the same
system.
